Morning glory likes hot summer weather.  This fast growing, large leaf plant makes an ideal screening plant.  If you start seeds off indoors, do not put them out until the weather has warmed up.

Drum composters make composting a breeze.  Works best when you shred bulky materials first.  Keeps foraging animals out of your compost pile.

Save your unused vegetable garden seeds for next year's planting.  The best method of storage is an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground.  Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables.  Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.
