This book is inventive, but a little repetitive. I think it's a little less helpful with the more recent days f the internet, so I'll give it credit for probably being more utilized and needed prior to web's inclusion of pretty much everything. That being said, if I read this book 10-20 years ago, I would probably feel pretty lucky. But we will never know.

That being said, I'm still keeping this book and not giving it away, so I guess 2.5 stars for now if I could.

I'm a fan of repurposing, especially when it comes to my garden. This book is chock full of ideas for plant supports, pest repellents, and other useful things made from household stuff.

Just goes to prove there's a use for everything and always something new to learn. I really liked some of the ideas in this book.

All of the suggestions were repetitive and just using garbage to make more garbage
