Reuse and upcycle those empty chicken feed bags 

And today I found a new use for an opened out feed bag - I painted a big poppy to put at our gate to comemorate ANZAC day tomorrow.

Yours is the most broad-based review of reuses I’ve seen. Thanks! TYFS

Thanks for the idea for the no- sew tote. That cuts the time down for sure.

Could you do a garden tour video, showing what you grow?

I would love to see a wholistic story of your garden and your chickens (and whatever other growing/nurturing projects you have). For example, how did you begin, how do the different projects interact with one another, your philosophy, etc. This would be a very ambitious video, I know, but very interesting!

Thanks for the great ideas! I especially love the apron! ❤

When we go camping we use the bags to haul our fire wood in them and it makes it a cleaner way to load the wood up.

We also use them for camping. They’re very handy for storing the BBQ plates/grille we use over open fire pits. Helps prevent every thing else in car from being blackened during transporting.

Fantastic ideas! I’m about to become a brand new chicken mom! Your videos are so helpful! Thank you :)

I make flower sacks with my extras. From the top to bottom I cut straight down the middle & either sew or staple down that open side then fill with potting soil, lay flat on table and make X slits in different spit down bag then plant some flowers let sit in shade a few days for roots to take and in top back make a hole to hang on nail and water good . I love them.

Timing Plus! I just finished my first 20kg bag of chicken feed. Had previously only bought 5 & 10kg's of feed. Used all those plastic bags to double bag (suspected) asbestos from the bottom of my back fence to comply with govt guidelines for responsible disposal at the tip. ($150 to drop in special asbestos skip). I need more bags now that you have given me all those ideas, eat up chickens!

They wash in the washing machine and dry in a cool dryer. You can also iron creases in with a warm dry iron.

❤ This is the video I was looking for! You got straight to the point, have a pleasant demeanor, and gave me lots of ideas😊 Thanks!!

Great ideas! You’re so clever! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent ideas! I'm definatly going to try using them as wind breakers.

I love this video

Love your many straightforward ideas and you remind me of my grandmother. thank you.

You are awesome .. thanks for sharing

Perfect 👍 All about repurpose/reuse here 🇺🇸👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

What a great vid..., things I just didn't think about. I just "use" to throw them out (I did use some of them for rubbish in my shed)..., not anymore. Thank you.

Great ideas ! My feed bags are piling up because they are just too good to throw away. This video was just what I needed to get motivated ! Happy bagging...J:o)++

Great ideas. I’ve had these bags gathering about int various places and one day I gathered them ALL up together and realized these are a bona fide resource. Been using quite a few for a soil bag foundation for a rough shed / shelter. Will use some of your ideas as well.

Lovely ideas here. Thank you!

wish I lived next door to you, you have a beautiful garden and lovly chickens, and all that fruit, yummy, my chickens finally accepted the new comers but it was rough going until I realized the older chickens did not like to be crowded with the newcomers to much so I had to add another roost, and boom the pecking screaming etc, reduced dramatically.

Thank for the great Ideas.

I love these ideas!

Great ideas! 👍

Great tips! Thank you

Good idea.

Great ideas!

These are all great ideas. I have many of them stocked up and use them also. I have laid them on the ground to smother the grass in a new garden area. I bought black contractor bags and I would like to attach/glue/sew them on top of the bags to also black out the grass. Like a home made silage tarp. I wondered if I could sew them together on my old sewing machine with a basting stitch. Any ideas? Well wishes for you and your family. Thank you for the video.

We live in the Windy City ( Chicago). The feed bag really work as a wind blocker.

I love your channel!

You are adorable!

You have to pay a fee to recycle grass clipping though the city. I have more than I have room for. But I use my feed bags for weeds, small sticks, surplus black walnuts, broken flower pots and all the rubbish that comes out of my garden if it is not just grass clippings I can put in my weekly bin for no extra charge. I am also a wood worker so I fill up bags with small cut off pieces of hardwoods with no bark and burn in a small wood stove since camp fires are no longer allowed at most state and natl park campgrounds. The stove has a cover and grate to keep sparks from coming out and is very easy to cook on and roast marshmelows too. An American tradition. But with a little care fish and chips can be done as well.

I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up!

Interesting. Our feed all comes in triple ply paper bags. Western Canada vs NZ I guess

Great ideas !! I have a chicken who appears to have Sour Crop ? I have never seen it before but researched online so i am guessing it is the problem. Her crop feels like it has water in it. I have tilted her forward and emptied it a couple of times,... not pleasant. She has improved slightly but still very sad. I also have put some apple cider vinegar in the water. Have you had this problem before ? Glen, Sth. Australia.

I donate mine to my local woodworking guild who fill them with wood scraps and sell them to make money for the guild.

They look just like a tarpaulin sheet

Jesus loves you!😁🤍✝️
