Yes!!! That is exactly what I said!! 3-tab shingles in the garden!! And what do I use them for???? Well,,,, first,,, you must cut them up!! Maddie approves of my gardening skills!!! All cut and ready to use!!! I use them to give me a perfect edge for the flower beds!!! My own re-purpose of roof shingles!! These have been in the yard for over 10 years!!! I still have to re-edge the lawn about once a year, but what a perfect mowing edge!!! AND!!!!! They come in different colors!!! How cool is that??!! Here are the shingles that I just put down today after getting them all cut up. I will be continuing with the shingles and bricks all the way to the far corner in the upper Right of the photo. I let the weeds and grass get a little out of control, but I am ready to attack that area. Once done, I will be bringing in more soil and doing a lot of new plantings!!! FUN!! Our front yard. I have TONS of trimming to do and I need to re-edge along the brick. I haven't done it for a few years, so past time!! One of my beautiful Japanese Maples. I love these plants, they are amazing!! I found this gigantic moth next to our sliding glass door on the back deck. He's huge!!! OK, got to go. Time for dinner and I am starving!!! Have a great rest of the weekend and Enjoy the Earth!!!
