How to upcycle a sink for your vegie garden | DIY Garden Projects | Gardening Australia

Tino Carnevale upcycles a sink to wash vegies. Subscribe ????http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Many gardeners will harvest their crops, then take them into the kitchen to wash – sending all their hard-earned soil down the sink, potentially clogging pipes too. Tino has a solution; a re-purposed laundry tub!

Tino’s laundry tub is in his patch. He uses his hose to wash the dirt off his freshly harvested vegies and the water and soil go down the drain, into a bucket he has placed in the cupboard below.

Once the vegies are clean and ready to be taken to the kitchen, he simply removes the bucket from underneath and uses it on the garden. The water isn’t wasted, and neither is his precious garden soil!

If you can’t find a laundry tub to use, you can always keep a bucket or tub near your outdoor hose to rinse your vegies. You’ll be able to save your pipes, save your soil and water the garden at the same time!
