Title: I just wanted to cry
Post by: Jeannine on February 20, 2008, 22:35:23
For the past couple of weeks due to re building at our school they have dumped literally hundreds of cardboard boxes in skips.I couldn't stop thinking about Manicscousers pumpkin patch, covered in cardboard then topped with manure.

There was no way I could get them home even flattened, some were huge as they brought interactive whiteboards.

There was enough to cover every inch of my two lotties completely with spares

They have gone for recycling I am sure but oh boy, if only I had had a pickup!!

I id get a nice offcut of blue carpet for the walkway in my home greenhouse though, raise a few eyebrows pulling it out of the skip.

I used interactive whiteboard boxes under my squash.  Brilliant if you can squash em in the car.  Still have one in my shed (Smartboard) ;D

one of the few things the club is good for is the recycling containers outside..we can get as much cardboad as we want, it's now going to be used in the whole of the polytunnel  ;D
