Fall Clean-Up with Edge Plastics

As we begin to move into cooler temperatures you should be well into the fall cleanup of your home and garden! Although not conventionally used, plastic totes can actually be very helpful during your cleanup work especially on the outside of your home.

While you may usually just use a wheelbarrow or a bucket for containing all the pesky weeds and other yard scraps that you pull out of your garden during the fall, storage totes can be a great alternative, especially if you have a large number of objects that need to be removed from your flower beds. Using these totes you can contain all of your scraps in one easy-to-carry tote and you also will need to empty it a lot less if you go for one that is of a larger size. Also, some heavier-duty totes also include sections on the inside of the handle that can hold garbage bags in case you don't have a place to dump the scraps or would rather just put everything into a bag that you can take out with your trash.

After you have finished your clean-up process, you can always empty and rinse out the tote to then create space for any items, inside or out, that may be not used for fall and winter seasons that you can now store in the tote. Anything from gardening tools to sports equipment can be stored and packed away for the cool months and in an easily accessible place for when the season for use comes back around to us! These steps can have your home looking decluttered and prepared for when warm temperatures reappear.

Storage to Seating

If you are a social butterfly, like many people out there, you may thrive in the atmosphere of hosting get-togethers at your apartment or home.

Well luckily if you have extra plastic storage totes sitting around your living space you can create one solution to two problems. For this project all you will need is two plastic storage bins , a piece of plywood and a quilted bedspread.

After the plywood place the bedspread over the top and either fold it under the storage bins or simply let it hang over the edges and hold it in place with decorative objects or walls.

DIY Water Feature

Have you been feeling like your landscaping is missing something? Maybe you need a water feature! A water feature will give your outdoor area some visual and audible interest. We are going to tell you how to make a small water feature that's inexpensive and easy to do. First, you need a clear or opaquely clear watertight plastic tote . The size depends on your preference, but we think an 80 quart tote will allow you a great look. Find the area where you want to put your water feature and trace around the tote. Then dig out enough dirt so that the top of the container is flush with the ground. Next, get some larger rocks and place them in the bottom to hold the tote in place. If you want (and this is actually very important), place a pump into the container. Keeping the water moving helps to promote aeration throughout the pond and discourages the growth of pests like mosquitoes and algae. Use some more rocks to secure the pump. Now, here's where your creativity gets to shine! S...
