I've been browsing apartmenttherapy.com as an antidote to the political wars.

Found a frugal idea there today that many of you might already know, though it had never occurred to me: turning plastic bottles into planters. Sorry, but it just didn't cross my overloaded, short-circuiting brain. I guess any size would do, but I guzzle milk by the gallon, so that's what I plan to use. The jug, not the milk of course.

I have also never heard this, but it makes a lot of sense. Planters cost a fortune.
