Repurposing: Indoor Herb Garden

As a Mason Jar fanatic, I never thought of using my jars for anything other than displaying food. However, this is an idea I think I am going to try. With new jars of course....lol I cant bring myself to use my old ones.

What you will need:
Mason/Kerr/Ball Jars
A Board (can be stained or distressed, your choice)
Nails or Screws
Hose Clamps (Large enough to fit your jars)
Potting Soil
Pea Gravel
Herbs

Directions:
1. Place a little bit of the pea gravel at the bottom of each jar. Fill the jar with potting soil and plant the herb.
2. Attach the clamp to the board with a nail or screw.
3. Hang the board in the desired area.
4. Place the jar inside the clamp and close so the jar is now attached to the board.
5. Enjoy your new herb garden!

Repurposing: Corks

I saw this posted to my FaceBook page and I had to repost it here.

What you need:
Corks
Twine
Discarded Forks
A Marker

Directions:
Write the name of the herb/veggie on the cork. Wrap the forks in twine, stick the corks onto the fork, and plant. Now you will never confuse your herbs or veggies again.
