10 tips for being GREEN and saving money

[bshmerlie]

Here's a couple more.
1. Fruit flies- easiest of all bugs to culture...almost a free food source.
2. Plants...whenever you buy a new plant. When you take it out of the pot to wash off the soil and roots separate a section of the plant with some roots and put it back into the pot with the soil. The other larger half can go in your viv. The small section put on a window sill in your kitchen, water it and in 2-3 months you will have a whole new plant for your next viv. FREE.

Can we use the word FREE?!? Lol!! oh there's more than 10, just thaught 10 made a better list so if you want more --
#11 make. Your own vines
#12 make a waterfall instead of buying one
#13 only use cricket drink for babies
#14 make your own crix food
#15 make your own viv from dicarded glass
# 16 make your background instead of buying it
#17 treat your water instead of buying it
#18 wash and bake your dirt and re-use it
Or atleast don't throw it in the trash, add it to a house plant
#19 use your grow lights for a year instead of 6 months

Anyone have questions on wood, use tres like oak, birch, ironwood, popple, maple and etc... No pine or cypress

Wow Ginger thanks so much for this amazing thread, it can really help a lot of those frogger who were ignorant in their first try and did all of this stuff the wrong way.

I'm going to definitely be more green and try to save more money as time goes on and I build more vivs or get more frogs. This summer I'm cleaning out my closet so I can raise crickets. Hopefully it'll be escape-proof...don't want them running around in my clothes...>>

But anyway, thank you Ginger!
