St Maarten can focus on using recycled items for Agriculture and back yard gardening

Standing behind saving the planet, its always interesting to try new ways of gardening using items that may be reused instead of being thrown away. Even though this is not a new trend, I still love to continue building the awareness towards agricultural development here on our beautiful Island. I am sure you guys have been familiar with these yellow plastic bottles that use to sit out front of the ACE Foundation school across from Cake House on LB Scott Road..

These yellow  plastic bottle which were originally used to store cooking oil, were reused by student of the ACE school for planting purposes. Due to lack of understand how to take proper care of the plants, the project failed and discourage allot of students and teachers. But no fear, we intend to try again with the teachers and students to give them the proper knowledge to help them achieve their goals.

The idea to take back up the bottles and replant in them came from my colleagues as the bottles were just sitting around and made no sense to just let them go to waste. Once again it was a joy to share ideas and help each other toward making the outcome successful.
