How can I get in touch with someone, without advertising on Craig's List, who would want to recycle these bricks in their garden? I'll be glad to transport them to their place on the front range. Thank you. Jan Hi,

I have about 150 blond colored bricks left over when my house was constructed in 1950. How can I get in touch with someone, without advertising on Craig’s List, who would want to recycle these bricks in their garden? I’ll be glad to transport them to their place on the front range.

Thank you.

When I'm laying mulch in a new bed I always use old newspapers to help smother grass and weeds. Over time it breaks down and become soft enough to plant in. Works great. I've done this in many of my flower beds. Just don't use the glossy parts or ads in the newspaper and you'll be golden. I just remembered something.

Creating a compost bin out of them is such a good idea though. Thanks! :) Ah yes…I have thought about that, but I’m really holding out for one of those barrels with a crank.

Best to you, Jan Hi Andrea,

I am a neighbor here in South Dakota. I just did a post on recyling an old window by painting a scene on it and putting it out on a garden wall.
