Thrifty Gardener Three: Stuff from the shed & streets

It's amazing what you can find for free. Gardening can be an expensive hobby if you buy everything you need from shops, so it's thrifty to re-use food containers for seed trays, and to keep an eye open for useful things being thrown out when walking around your neighbourhood.
Here we take a look at some of the things that have cost absolutely nothing to the gardener, but will be useful in the vegetable garden as growing containers and screens.

Ha ha!

I am always on the look out for useful stuff, but I only take what someone else is throwing away .... honest!
