most wooden pallets are treated with formaldehyde. its nice to recycle, but i wouldn't want to sit on that. a simple splinter could cause a serious infection.

i agree with bepsf. to add to that, i would make sure you get the glass tempered and have the glass shop round the corners so the glass is safer.

I would not advise melting records even on low heat in the oven. The polyvinyl chloride gas that is released is highly toxic and carcinogenic.

i've recently tried a product called Shake-Away in my garden, which is concentrated fox pee. its worked for two days but we'll see what happens. i've read online that cayenne pepper actually causes the critter's eyes to burn (like when you get it in your eyes). seems odd that humane society would approve if that is true.

New York smells like an armpit these last couple of days.

ikea has these too. they're Polypropylene not Polyethylene but the bins look almost identical. not sure if the material matters unless you are planting edibles.
