Planting Freecycle

Freecycle group

Pursuing a more self sustaining lifestyle, I have looked on freecycle for handy freebies to aid this anti commercial battle. The other week proved to be a delightful break through.
Finding plants on offer can be like gold dust at times, and knowing how expensive these are to buy, this listing was not to be missed. Growing your own herbs, berries, veg and salad is instrument in establishing this desired self sustaining lifestyle.


I found a listing of plants on offer, by a fellow freecycle of whom has no become a friend. Being in the same freecycle group meant that we live cloe by and I am able to cycle over to her, whenever the is another plant she wants to dig up. Nothing made to waste in her garden and a real added credit to my garden.


Freecycle not only makes you think about your household items differently; in that they can be made useful by someone else when you no longer can use it, but it has also built up a community of like minded people and friendship have been formed.


I look forward to this winter when I can pick my next lot of plants from my fellow freecycler!
