After finding and collecting a sizable stash of Topsy Turvys from Goodwill, I found an idea from Pinterest on how to hand and use them! What I did was find a FREE swing set on Craigslist, disassemble it, drive it home, and them reassemble it in the backyard. This would serve as the semi-mobile vertical planter hanger without digging into the yard as a renter tenant.
After attending the Mother Earth News Fair, I was inspired by Jack Spirko’s indoor grow tower and built a tower of my own. Overtime my grow light stations have evolved – which I’ve highlighted in this blog further below. I also wanted to highlight a few window shelf solar grows, including a unique Chia Pet!
Using a barren shelf unit in the living room, I attached my grow lights to shine on each level. I started using them to get my houseplants growing better and rooting deeper. Then I moved my plants to the window shelves and swapped in seed in biodegradable cups sitting in muffin trays. I didn’t see a whole lot of success except with my green beans and a couple of wildflower seed cups.
The Austin Public Library’s Eco Day – Green Resource Fair was a nice little event put on at the Austin Central Library. I’ve been to this library several other times for green speaker series before, but this was the first “fair” they put on.
Outside the library were bicyclists working on bikes and swapping parts together. Inside was the exhibit hall and speaker stairwell auditorium. The fair was a little slow to start, but got kicked into high gear once the fair officially started 30 minutes in.
