    Don't know if anybody else does this.
    We save all the newspapers thrnshred and soak them in a half barrel of water.
    My hubby has a lot maker and when the paper is shaped into logs I dry them out in the greenhouse.
    Good for burning in the winter.

    Collect all the string the postman is constantly throwing on the ground.

    Collect empty flower pots, containers and bulbs that people discard in our local cemetery

    Save multiple amounts of seeds so no need to buy them.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

      I hardly ever save seeds, just flowers usually, never grown anything edible from my own seeds, not even the non F1 ones. I buy some seeds, get a lot free with magazines and rarely sow all the seeds in a packet in one year(apart from roots like carrots, beets and parsnips), so a packet of seed can last me for a couple of years, sometimes more. There's only 2 of us and we don't freeze fresh produce, preferring to eat it in season, so never felt the need to save seed.

        As I brought my sun-dried washing in this morning, I remembered this thread

        My 5 little things today (so far) are:-

        Drying the washing in the sun
        Planting elephant garlic that I'd saved from last year's crop.
        Cutting down some mint and chopping the stalks into the chicken run - to make it smell nice!!
        Potting up some sage cuttings that had rooted in water on the window sill.
        Shredding old envelopes for the chickens to turn into compost.
