Bottle Sprinklers

     Here's a look at some bottle sprinklers we have made for use on Sweetwater Farms this year. We will be using these to water all of our produce and herbs. They are made from a used water bottle so they also promote recycling and reusing old products. The spray will cover a 6-8 foot radius on all sides of the bottle at normal water pressure from a standard hose.

     These bottle sprinklers are quite easy to make and can even be decorated to match your flowers or other surrounding features. If you are not into do-it-yourself projects, we can help install some at your house. Contact us if you think bottle sprinklers would be right for your flowers or garden. Take a look at the video below to see them in action.

Growing Services Closing for Spring/Summer

     Tomorrow is the last day to get your seeds to us if you want to be part of the Growing Services program for the Spring/Summer growing season of 2017. Contact us to arrange a time for you to drop them by the farm. You can also mail them to us, but that needs to be postmarked today. We will be accepting orders for the Fall/Winter growing season from now until the end of May.

Terracycle Recycling Programs

     Sweetwater Farms is now a drop-off location for two Terracycle recycling programs. We are part of the Energy Bar Wrapper Recycling Program powered by Clif Bar, as well as the GoGo SqueeZ Recycling Program that collects squeezable snack pouches and caps. You can drop off foil-lined energy bar wrappers of any brand, any Clif Bar product packaging (Shot Bloks, Shot gels, clear plastic Mojo bar wrapper, etc.), and snack food pouches and caps by any brand. The items are then mailed to Terracycle where they are recycled into other goods. We ask that you completely empty all wrappers and pouches of their contents before bringing them to us. If you wash them, please let them dry fully before bringing them to us as we cannot ship dripping boxes.

     There are other recycling programs available through Terracycle that you can join yourself. Shipping to Terracycle is free thanks to a partnership with UPS. Programs include recycling everything from school and office supplies to water filters and toothbrushes. Find out more at www.terracycle.com.
