They are good for taking pollutants out of indoor air.........highly recommend.

If you bring a plant from the dumpster your indoor air will be polluted.

Another great prevention of mental health that's been proven [good for single or married ] !
And there is beneficial difference ,you take "this one out" instead of bringing "something in" .
Kick the Girlfriend or Wife to the curb !

The plant I found in the dumpster would retail for around $134 at WALMART.

It is a 6ft mother-in-laws-tougue with many stemmed roots.

Awesome plant, however in the two years that I have had it, it has lost a few stems.

Still, a great plant.

Also,I may need you and our pals from Canada to chip in some opinions on Gun Control ?
Seems my"pals" on SBR [the possible clique] do not have a opinion,so I hope bring some "fresh" unbiased minds into the game !

sickler · 07-30-09, 09:45 PM

Abe, I'm not touching that topic (gun control). Too explosive. I want to sleep well tonight.

sickler · 08-01-09, 04:38 PM

New addition. Home will be a greenhouse in no time...

tacomax · 08-01-09, 04:53 PM

Fishhead - maybe you can meet some like minded people who also like to root through other people's trash.

Organized dumpster diving groups.

After hitting a casino:

I heard that Fishhead joined this twitter group:

sickler · 08-01-09, 09:59 PM

I'm buying another one next week.

This is getting to be addictive.

sickler · 08-02-09, 07:58 PM

Any updates, Fishhead?

You can let the forum know about any goodies you find while rooting through other people's trash.

I'm on a plant-buying spree. Will also keep the updates flowing...

Not much .......looking for a cheap venus fly trap and a possible fern for the bathroom.

Fishler, make a video next time you go Dumpster Diving

sickler · 08-02-09, 08:11 PM

Yeah, show us how a $500 000 slots winner spends his recreational time.

No diving involved, these people politely leave their valuables laying next to the dumpster.

Made about $2500 taking stuff to the local auction house last year from this junk...........little effort.

Due to the explosion of interest in this topic, isn't about time we had a dumpster diving sub-forum?

fiveteamer · 08-04-09, 10:36 PM

I have basil and I make pesto with it.

sickler · 08-04-09, 10:41 PM

I will bump regularly with plant additions.

At the same time, I will encourage Fishface to share trash treasures.

pavyracer · 08-04-09, 10:45 PM

Fishhead is chasing the truck dumpsters now

Not too shabby:

Fishhead grabbed this during an early morning dumpster-sifting session:

An upgrade over the tv tray used to hold his beverage at the end of the sofa:

Got 35-40 chinese bamboo throughout the house..few orchids

Shortstop · 10-01-09, 04:17 AM

I bought my Mom and my Grandma orchids for Mother's Day. They both love them.

HotStreak · 10-01-09, 06:27 AM

My wife had to remove the large plant near the couch. I kept using it like a litter box. Who can run to the bathroom when your live dog is running the two-minute drill and your looking for that TD for a backdoor cover.

So does that mean you weren't educated before you bought them?

Name one of them Cougar Bait.

And put a little beard on it, with some saliva dribbling out the side.

I heard that also. They release more oxygen into the air so it helps you breathe easier.
