  2. This is also an upcycling project. I’m quite happy with how thoroughly I used the original sandals, I maybe even overdid it with how long I had been walking with the hole through the sole. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

  3. The only caveat I would add is that old windows can have lead in not only the paint/varnish, but also the glazing. Make sure those are either safely removed or properly sealed so they can't leech out.

    Build a #DIY #ColdFrame using an old window

    Written by Tara Nolan • Updated on October 28, 2024

    Excerpt: "One of the projects that I knew I wanted to include in my book, #RaisedBedRevolution, was a cold frame. I had seen some neat DIY cold frame examples through garden visits over the years, great cold frame kits through various retailers and innovative cold frames that used old windows as the lid. I was also inspired by Niki, who gardens 365 days a year (you can find some of her cold frame tips here).

    "When the photographer for my book, Donna Griffith, grabbed an old window a mutual friend was giving away, I enlisted my brother-in-law, Deon, to help me figure out how to build a cold frame to fit."

    20 #DIY #ColdFrame Plans For Your #WinterGarden

    Do you want to keep gardening, even in the middle of winter? In this article, Kevin Espiritu shares 20 DIY cold-frame plans for your garden.

    Written by Kevin Espiritu Last updated: January 22, 2024

    "As the cold weather starts to come on, many of us sigh and look forward to the start of spring again, when we can once more grow fresh vegetables and fruit for our tables. But it doesn’t have to be like that! There are many cold-weather vegetables that can easily grow with just a little protection. And building a DIY cold frame is the perfect solution.

    While a DIY cold frame can be as simple and small as a plastic 2-liter bottle with the bottom cut off, carefully placed overtop of a plant to offer a little more warmth, what I’ve got for you today is a list of 26 different concepts and plans for winter cold frames that encompass a bit more space in your garden and allow for a better collection of vegetables. So whether you’d like to grow spinach or beets, protect your flowers, or even start a few seedlings early on, there’s a cold frame plan here for everyone.

    Since there’s a variety of materials that can be used to construct cold frames, I’m going to split these up by the clear material used on the top of the frame. From there, the only limit is your imagination!"

    October 27, 2025 by Brandon Marcus

    "The first frosty morning always sneaks up on gardeners like a villain in a horror movie. One day your lettuce looks lush and happy; the next, it’s limp, icy, and begging for mercy. But fear not—there’s a way to fight back against the cold without running to the garden store or spending a fortune. DIY garden covers are your secret weapon for keeping plants alive, warm, and thriving even when winter tries to shut down your green thumb.

    "From upcycled materials to clever homemade solutions, here are seven cold-weather garden covers that actually work—and might even make you feel like a garden MacGyver."

  6. Hrmpf. Das Garn ist etwas zu früh alle und nun muss ich aufs Spannen hoffen, aber ich denke, dass wird passen.
    Am WE waschen und spannen und dann gucken, wie ich es auf das Lampengerüst bastele.

  19. Old thatch from a friends (admittedly quite degraded) roof thatch repair.
    Great for the compost heap!
    Allows aeration & thatch straw is organic!
    The sprays used by farmers on straw to prevent mould etc actually speed up its degredation when used on rooves.

    Helped my friend get rid of some of the waste and to me financial cost zero!

  24. » Erdbeerschachteln wiederverwenden «

    Neulich hatte ich keine passende Form für einen Kühlschrank-Kuchen ("Kalter Hund"), den ich machen und verschenken wollte und habe einfach eine Erdbeerschachtel dafür verwendet.

  27. Polymer Editing Can Upcycle Waste Into Higher Performance Plastics

    Adam Malin/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material. Upcycling may help remedy the roughly 450 million tons of plastic discarded worldwide annually, of which only 9% gets recycled; the rest is incinerated or winds up in landfills, oceans or elsewhere……Continue […]

  28. Petit #bricolage du jour, à la va vite

    Hier, j'ai commencé par coller 2 planches que j'avais, pour que je puisse les travailler aujourd'hui.

    Aujourd'hui, j'ai donc fait la forme que je souhaitais, découpé des bouts de pneus pour faire des patins (qui a besoin d'acheter des patins quand on a des pneus ?!), que j'ai ensuite vissé sous le plateau.

    J'ai passé une finition et maintenant j'attends que ça sèche. À votre avis, à quoi ça va servir ?

    (Bon, les finitions sont pas top, mais il fait trop chaud pour passer du temps sur le balcon, ça ira bien)
