Making use out of chipped and otherwise harmful and useless mugs. Great for gifting and a kitchen herb garden. Don’t forget to drill a hole in the bottom!
Brilliant! And a great addition to the “beverage carton-repurposing” idea file.
Spotted on Facebook, on the Grow Food, Not Lawns community gardening page here. (If you’re aware of the original source, please tell us — I wasn’t able to track it down.)
Other garden-related ideas can be found in earlier Unconsumption posts here and here.
“Gardening with repurposed objects” is a recurring theme here on Gardens in Unexpected Places.
Today, I’m pleased to add this item to the mix: a boombox garden.
A pretty good new use for a dead boombox, isn’t it?

Doing It Justice: Brasilia Justice Ministry by Oscar Niemeyer-
Designed in 1962, the justice ministry was one of many buildings Niemeyer designed, for the then new capital of Brazil, Brasilia. The building is surrounded by a moat and water cascades from large concrete gutters suspended from the columns that form the facade of the building. Huge concrete louvres to the sides of the building, shield the internal glass walled ministry form the sun. Roberto Burle Marx, Niemeyer’s long time collaborator designed the water gardens.
While matchboxes are not only infrequently used but also produce an almost negligible amount of one of the least harmful wastes- this is neat. I like the idea of packaging that is biodegradable, I mean duh, we all do. It’s just cool to see people actually doing it. Kind of. In concept. :]
