I wonder by leaving that mess on her nice counter top if it stained it?

Believe it or not we buy it here at our country hardware store.

No need to restrict to region or climate, we're looking for a master list of natural dyes.

a few I know include

Weld
onion skins

sheep's sorrel

queen anne's lace


what else can we add to the list?

Garlic is a cold weather crop so why are some people suggesting garlic?

I would drill a hole in them and use them as you would beads.

In all due respect your gripe should not be about greenhouses it should be about non educated people that do not do there homework before putting a greenhouse up. As to your eco/bug theory I don't seem to have any problems with that or having bees etc. Enter my greenhouse. Some of us need a greenhouse due to our harsh weather.

I prefer to sift to make it easier for the roots of the new seed growth not to grow crooked from the rocks,wood chips etc. I also like sifted soil because the plants would get more of the nutrients when I use a fertilizer than being absorbed into the wood chips which would take longer to break down for the new growth.
