Has anyone had any luck with grow bags? We've tried several plants in ours and had no luck with everything dying after one of two hot days...

Glad it's not just me who has these problems! We're a small not for profit and even with workshops it's impossible to get people to commit. People will always complain 'oh why don't you run workshops in [insert location] and we often have to say, we did but no one turned up. Party Planning Vent: What's So Hard About RSVPing? |

I try not to stay with people if I can avoid it because I snore. Loudly. I've been to sleep clinic etc and there's not much that can be done. If I do have to stay with people, I bring earplugs for them. 5 Tips for Being a Good Overnight Guest |

Reusable bags have been the norm in Australia for a long time but supermarkets, shops etc tend to sell 'green bags' for $1 made of polypropylene ( a fossil fuel-based plastic). The bags are imported from China which doesn't help and people tend to just buy lots more (most admit to having so many green bags they throw them out) rather than remember to take the same ones.

This is helpful, i too work from a home office and it is really easy to get swept up by the acting and reacting tasks in a day and hence feel overwhelmed and end up wasting time. Definitely going to work with this. Routines Are Not the Enemy: 11 Ways To Make them Work for You |

In Australia we have (up until very recently) had several years of drought. Watering gardens is done with grey water (for non-edibles) and excess cooking water where possible for edibles. Most people don't have hoses and trigger nozzles were in line with the water restriction to avoid wastage. We flush our toilet with grey water (bucket in the shower/from washing machine) to save clean water for the garden. An Easy Water-Saving Garden Tip Martha Stewart |

Good ideas in theory but our landlord is certainly not going to let us drill holes in the walls for hooks or shelves-stick on ones would be too light for coats. Tips for Dealing with a No-Entryway Entryway Renters Solutions |
