    "Plant" the broken portion of the plate into the loose ground at the beginning of each row in the garden to indicate what is going to be popping up there.
    Tomato written on the plate, or lettuce, cucumbers.
    Great way to recycle and to keep track of what will be plated up fresh from your garden.

    Steph , when I was a youngster we not only had a land line only, but it was a party line. We had three different homes all on the same phone line. we knew it was for our house by the number of rings . Ours was 2 rings so it would have a small pause between sets of rings. Better yet our neighbours were Checks, we were french. They could pick up their phone and hear and interfere with conversations. These kids today just don't have a clue of struggle now do they. Things a too easy for them now LOL

    I’m sure y’all have answered this question before, but how often would you say you go to dumpsters and don’t find anything? Also, have you ever had the cops called/gotten in actual trouble for dumpster diving? Like, other than just being told to leave and/or never come back.

    • @avnerrlacardey7451
      @avnerrlacardey7451 Před 3 lety

      Its easy, just go the back of a nearby plaza & check the bins, at a quick glance if u see something then u grab, or not , usually security or cops won’t say anything if they see u, they just don’t like when people dump

    • @Ari6lle1nWonderl2nd
      @Ari6lle1nWonderl2nd Před 3 lety +2

      @@avnerrlacardey7451 Yeah, no I know _how_ to do it. I just wanted to know about their experiences or those of anyone else who dumpster dives frequently and would be willing to answer my questions.
      It just seems like they find good stuff _every time_ they go, and I’m wondering if they just don’t post the times where they don’t find anything, or if they just almost always find something.
      I’m also wondering if anyone who dives frequently has gotten into _actual_ trouble for doing it. I know that what normally happens when someone gets caught is pretty minor, I just wonder what the worst case scenario would be for someone getting caught by security or an employee calling the cops. I live in Texas, so worst case scenarios from people who dumpster dive in Texas would be even better. Thanks for your reply though 🙂.

      Security r pretty chill they might stop u or they might not, & if they do they tell u to leave, it’s risky if u go to a private property location plaza they can actually call the cops on you, I’ve gotten some pretty chill employees, never haf any prob.:)
