Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

On my journey around the allotments I noticed a number of recycled elements to each plot. Tin cans, plastic bottles, CD's, pegs, plastic bags and all sorts were being used as bird scarers, plants labels and ties. This made me think about my own project and the way gardeners are happy to 'make do and mend'. Maybe I could incorporate some of these recycled materials that gardeners seem so eager to use. These materials are all durable and have been tried and tested, weathered and knocked about....this could be a great element to add to my work...

The trusty peg...used to pin up netting around precious vegetables.

CD's catch the sun and scare away the birds.
