Do you have an old rug to
dispose of? Old rugs can be very useful around the farm and garden. Not only
can you save yourself the cost of disposal, you can save money on materials
that you otherwise would have to buy. Some uses of old rugs include:
Winter Garden Cover
Lay your old rugs over your
garden in the winter. This will kill all the grass and weeds so you can start
in the spring without having to deal with a bunch of sod. Also, if you want to
go fishing, when you lift up the rug you may find a good amount of earthworms!
Pond Liner
Dig your hole for your pond.
When you are through, line the hole with the old rug. This will protect your
plastic that you put over this from getting punctured by an unseen rock or
root.
Shed Roofing
Put the old rug (upside down)
over the plywood on the roof of your old shed. Then make it waterproof by
painting it with old paint or asphalt emulsion roof coating or asphalt roof
coating. Or just build a frame for the roof of your shed or pen and use the rug
as the roof itself. Don’t forget to put it on upside down and paint it.
