I belong to my local freecycle, which is basically an internet email group where folks can list stuff they want to get rid of or stuff they are looking for. I responded to someone who was offering old wood from a workbench. I ended up with 5 pieces, 8ft long by 6in wide, about 2.5 inches thick. I originally intended to build a garden bed with them, but found they had unknown paint on them and I didn't want to risk contaminating my veggies. I had the brilliant idea to use them to edge the garden bed on the side of our garage, which has always just sort of been a pile of dirt with lots of day lilies in it. I think it came out really nice! And all I had to spend was my time, to get it done. Hooray for recycling!
