Advanced Rain Barrel/Watering Can. Toby made this out of a laundry detergent container and a water jug held together with a yogurt container with duct tape. We placed it under a gutter during a rain storm...it filled up very quickly...it works really well.

From Snacks to Stacks
There is a toy on the market call "speed stacks". Speed stacks are priced often $30 brand new. Benjamin's cup stacks are made from yogurt cups, thus the name "snacks to stacks". They are a very inexpensive alternative, and work well.

Granite Table
This outdoor end table was constructed with a piece of discarded granite and a rescued ottoman. I stained the ottoman. The granite was placed on top but not secured, as the weight of the granite makes this a sturdy and weatherable end table.

The Adirondack chair was made of rescued recycled plastic wood scraps often used to build decks. The recycled plastic wood weathers very well and the recovered scraps, though mismatched colors, made for an excellent outdoor chair. The Adirondack style is very comfortable and eco-friendly.

Hanging Container Garden
This garden is made of 100% recovered materials. The kitty litter containers are used to make an upside down garden for tomatoes and eggplant. Using this method the branches can extend down and grow to maximum potential. Kitty litter containers on the side house beans that want to grow up the side of the structure like a vine. The lower planters are made from wooden shipping crates and host growing herbs and spices. This method would be ideal for gardening an apartment setting where space is limited.

Larger Hanging Container Garden/Shade Tent
This garden is made of 100% recovered materials. The kitty litter
containers are used to make an upside down garden for tomatoes and
eggplant. The trellis across the top is a used volleyball net where Yams can grow and spread. This long structure provides shade to the earth-based garden currently growing underneath this structure and providing shade in the warmer months.
