This afternoon, I'm straw mulching around gardens & making some in ground vermicomposting stations in mixed crops bed. I'll be using takeout soup containers to make my in ground vermicomposting stations. If I can easily make them from materials in my home/recycling bin - there is no need to buy them.

I didn't think it was that ugly (and an interesting #repurposing of an upturned #shipping #container )

Garden gold: how to give common household waste new life as back yard essentials
From egg cartons to hard rubbish, everyday consumables can be repurposed into valuable gardening resources
by Connie Cao, Fri 10 Apr 2026
Excerpt: "Teresa Day, masterclass coordinator at #SustainableGardeningAustralia, says we need to stop using the word 'waste' and start using the word 'material'. She suggests reframing the idea of waste and considering: 'What am I going to do with this material, what can it be used for next?'
"The benefits of #repurposing or #rehoming materials extends further than just reducing landfill. Longtime gardener Olwyn Smiley runs a #permaculture garden consultation business and has found plenty of gems both kerbside and in local #BuyNothing groups.
"As Day’s late grandmother used to say, 'waste isn’t waste until you waste it'. There are numerous ways to turn common household waste into valuable resources for the garden."

My latest hand-sewing project—turning a new unused* flat sheet into pillow cases—is done! Turns out, a queen size flat sheet renders 6 standard pillow cases. Took me a few nights and an audiobook, “Lords and Ladies,” by T. Pratchett. 🧵🪡✨🎧📖
French seams, of course!
*cheaper to buy a set of sheets, but we never use the flat sheets.

Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

The World Is Studded With Artificial Mountains
They’re fake, but they can be spectacular (and hazardous).

[As I was reading this article I was thinking about Rome’s Monte Testaccio, an “artificial mound[s] in Rome composed almost entirely of testae, fragments of broken ancient Roman pottery, nearly all discarded amphorae [mainly for imported olive oil] dating from the time of the Roman Empire…”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Testaccio]

#NativeAmericanArtists - Items of Refuse, by Heather Newton Brown
4 December 2025
"My series, 'Items of Refuse' is an exploration of the tension between reclaiming and creating beauty from discarded objects and identity. I gather items considered 'throw away,' pairing them with phrases commonly used to dismiss or #marginalize others. Through this process, I confront the societal norms perpetuated by #capitalism, #colonization and #ConstructedBinaries, with the intention to transform.
"Repurposing metal items alongside abstract art and reclaiming derogatory phrases offers me a way to celebrate #HumanCreativity and perseverance while challenging oppressive systems. This work serves as a reflection of my response to social and #environmental crises, highlighting the importance of #resourcefulness and #resilience in the face of adversity.
" 'As We May Think' was created while sorting through #ephemera. I was struck by the relevance and resonance of topics we are struggling with currently. Time magazine clippings from 1945 had haunting similarities to articles that could be read today, related to war, politics, relationships, household needs, and world affairs. I decided to be curious, and to let the process guide me. The result is pieces of our history brought together in ways that reflect on our history, and our current trajectory."

🚀✨ Leave it to tech nerds to turn a perfectly good GPS modem into a barely-functional web server nobody asked for. Instead of #repurposing #e-waste, they’re repurposing sanity—because who needs cloud hosting when you have a #PinePhone and a million hours to spare? 🙃📡

FIL and me modified an old slide (by angle grinding off the old stairs and bolting to our steps) which wasn’t functional on account of not being able to stand on its own for Miss 4 and Mr 1. #maker #kids #play #playtime #fun #upcycling #repurposing

With the End of 10 already in play I'm having recurring conversations at our local #RepairCafe about what to suggest people do when they can't upgrade their device to Windoze 11.
Which way do you direct people?

PRO TIP: In case anyone has a laptop that may get too warm/hot to comfortably use on your lap, you might want to try putting a cardboard cat-scratching pad between you and it.

My son has redirected his mail to me. Amongst the bits and pieces, bank statements, reminders, etc, there are some items he is ok for sharing:)
He belongs to Heritage New Zealand and they publish a magazine quarterly. Its an intriguing read about our heritage and often articles about a particular building.
The latest edition has an article about the repurposing of what was CIT ( Central Institute of Technology). A polytechnic that served Upper Hutt and the region from the 70s until 2001 when it closed. It sat dormant for 15 years. It was purchased by two local individuals in 2015, with the vision and determination to repurpose the complex, preserving it's architecture and to create a quite unique environment for different purposes. They certainly achieved that.
It now serves as a training and accomodation facility for various sporting bodies including high performance athletes. The All Blacks, Black Ferns, Hurricanes Rugby, Wellington Phoenix and support people, just to name a few.
It has 450 accommodation rooms, daycare center, gyms, recovery pools and other indoor space for various activities. It also has various outdoor playing fields for training and events.
The architecture is "brutalist", reflecting the period it was built.
It is a now a grand example of what can be done to preserve and repurpose some of this countries past and turn it into a living thing again.
Well done to those involved.
A plug for Heritage New Zealand is also to be had. It is involved with preservation of NZ as we knew it and as it is now. It is always welcoming new members.I short video link to the now New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport is below.

😆 Oh wow! A 40-year-old mouse gets a glow-up as a speech-to-text button. Because nothing screams cutting-edge technology like #repurposing ancient #gadgets with *Bluetooth and USB-C*! 😂 Who knew the future of #innovation was a trip to the junkyard? 🖱️🎙️
