FAIRY CONTEST


Hello Everybody! I have a fun little contest 

here  


To participate; create a fairy chair to seat a fairy 6 inches tall. You can use any house hold or outside objects.
REMEMBER fairy's are scavengers... they find trash and turn it into treasure. they like sparkly, shiny, tacky things. They are NOT perfectionists... they kind of just throw things together.. So anything you find can work!

THE MAGIC FLY-AWAY BAG

Putting pennies in a bag with water keeps flies away????
Ok, Ok, I know this sounds crazy.... BUT IT WORKS LEMME TELL YA! When put at an entrance.. It keeps those dumb flies away!!

What you'll need: 


  • A sandwich Baggie
  • 5 Pennies (dull, shiny, whichever!)
  • Some water
  • Some string (length depending on where it goes)

Instructions:

  1. Open Sandwich baggie and poor water in until its half way full.
  2. Place 5 pennies into the baggie
  3. CLOSE the baggie and let allllllll the air out. Then tie your string around the baggie tightly so it doesn't come off.
  4. Hang the baggie in entrance of porch/sitting area..Like so:

WHY DOES THIS WORK?!?!?!?!?!
This Magical baggie works by confusing the fly. Flies have horrible eye sight, so when flying towards this bag they don't see water, actually they don't know what they see, so the flies assume its a predator they fly away...
...ultimately leaving you alone!
COOL, HUH?! :)

A little bit about me... Abby!

Hello, World!!
My name is Abby. This is my second year gardening, and oooooooh boy do I love it. I garden with my step-dad Kyle and he is the one who got me obsessed (you'll hear about him quite a bit)
The cool thing about my garden (AND THIS BLOG) is that we garden on a budget... We don't spend bukkos amount of money for our garden. We turn trash into treasure, seed into plant, and nothing into something. Hopefully I will teach you on how YOU can be an efficient, frugal gardener and maybe you'll decide to try it yourself :)
