There's always flower pots somewhere around our house, that are not always easy to reach with the garden hose. For those planters a watering can is always helpful and today I'm blogging about
TerraCycle Recycled Garden Products. TerraCycle is a company that makes home and garden products from a variety of non-recyclable materials in an effort to keep unwanted plastics out of landfills. They currently have some new garden products that are made from 100% of recycled plastic (common materials like drink pouches and granola bags, toothbrushes and more.)
First up is their Eco-Terra Watering Can by Plastec is a sturdy plastic with strong handle and was easy to carry and fill. (Please note MacchiOTTo felt the need to help me water flowers too, so her little orange watering can is in this picture but it is not a TerraCycle product.... though I think it would be a great idea if they made a children's line of garden products.) As you can see in the picture below the water flows nicely out of the can and gives your flowers a gentle shower of water. I really liked the flow on this can as it was perfect for getting my flowers the water they need. This watering can sells for under $16.99
Next up was the Terra Stone Plant Caddy. I have been known to move my planters around a couple times a month and usually it's back breaking work to pick one up. Sometimes I use a wheel barrow to assist me and sometimes I just push and slide.... so I was anxious to try this plant caddy.
The Terra Stone Plant Caddy measures 12 inches square and holds up to 200 pounds. I placed my planter on top of the caddy and rolled it to it's new location.
For more information on TerraCycle and to see their other products please visit their website as all these products are eco-friendly ways to grow your garden.
Please note TerraCycle did send me these products to review but all thoughts, pictures and opinions expressed on this blog are my own.
