Feather BasketI have parrots. When I find dropped feathers and feathers from wild birds outdoors I wash them in Dawn, dry them, and pop them into the weave of a wicker basket hanging off my kitchen cabinet.
Wild Sweet PeasWhile driving to work one day years ago, I noticed these beautiful flowers were growing on the side of the road. I watched for them go to seed so I could stop and "borrow" a few. I planted them in a sunny spot and eventually they grew and bloomed beautifully! I can't wait to see them again this summer!
Natural Cat Litter to Get Rid of Moles and VolesSeveral years ago I had a mole/vole problem in my decorative plant garden and lawn. I use a pine, walnut shell, or other natural cat litter for my cats. These products often have instructions right on the bag to use them once used on inedible plant beds as mulch.
Use Shrimp Water for Watering PlantsI made some luscious sesame panko shrimp recently. I soaked the frozen raw shrimp in plain water until defrosted before I breaded them. I saved the shrimpy water and poured about 1/4 cup of it into each of my plants out front.
