Gardeners can find various items that can be repurposed for their growing spaces, such as barrels, wood chips, plastic liners, and containers. Sharing what one finds in the comments can help others with ideas for their own spaces.

The barrels, which previously contained adblue—a substance that's not classified as dangerous for the environment—are reasonably easy to clean out. However, care should be taken not to spill any content, especially on dandelions, as they seem to die when exposed to it.

The grow room has a variety of plants being cultivated, such as the Kurer Breeze and potatoes that are warming up the soil. Lights in the grow room are timed to be on at night and off during the day.

A roll of visqueen plastic is used to line the pallet collars. Although plastic is used for various purposes in the garden, it's a necessary purchase for certain garden projects.

Wood chips can be delivered for free to the allotment. Some people may have to pay for them, but others find ways to obtain them without any cost. They're beneficial for topping up garden beds.

When picking up items, especially those that are dumped or found, it's advised to use good slash-proof gloves. Care should be taken not to put oneself at risk while handling found items.

Mushroom trays are sturdy, stackable, and incredibly useful for taking vegetables home or storing items around the garden. These trays are often disposed of by vendors and can be easily repurposed for gardening needs.
