Self-Watering Pail Planters
These enamel-coated steel pails keep annuals adequately hydrated: A water reservoir at the bottom of the pails doles out moisture
to soil so roots are sufficiently nourished. An indicator stick alerts you to low water levels, while pre-drilled holes enable
easy suspension along deck railings and fences.

Vacuum-packaged salmon, flounder, and tilapia fillets and bags of frozen shrimp cost 20 to 40 percent less than their counterparts at the fish counter. (If that sounds unappetizing, consider that most “fresh” fish has been previously frozen during transport.)
