I was sure i posted this here today, can't find it, so maybe it got lost in cyberspace.

I hit the resale shops, good will St. Vincent's and anywhere I can think of to either buy, get free, or whatever, those wonderful wire lampshade frames. I like the ones with silk material on, lots of times they are pretty to boot. I remove the material, whether paper, material, or... and am left with a wire frame for a plant support, and lots cheaper than the plant supports in the stores.

I dicker when I can, check rummages, etc., and make use of those shades, as lots of times they are just thrown away cuz the material is torn, or something. Think about the pricing people, those shades are worth their weight.

I love to repurpose something, and this, along with chipped wood from the county or city, wherever you can get it,to use as mulch is such a good way to reuse.
