im trying to figure out a fathers day gift for my dad, and i would like to make it myself. whats a good gift for my dad who loves his compost bin & vegetable garden?
Answer
twirly things are cool. like, spin in the wind toys. pretty but also can scare away certain pests like fruit or worm eating eating birds.
like this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pinwheel
plastic is cool of course, or laminated but paper would let you print images off the net. i do Like the solid colors they show in that how2 but just saying since it is father's day like if u know how to print up pix of yourself and family.
if u make the blades rounded instead of pointy and color it right it will look like a flower. but also i have seen some that managed to make the center round somehow. adding a disk or just cutting it right. if u add spacer between disk and part that spins then face can stand still while petals spin.
other famous one for dads is the tshirt. u can write or tiedye with bleach. or dye with koolaid. and also u got the transfers but that is cash, like $8 for ten sheets? but i mean the paper u can iron onto a shirt; u print a picture on the paper first by using the regular computer printer, so u can use family pix or personal art.
then of course a card. or 'coupons'. like for one weed picking session or one car washing, one hug, one movie together, etc. it varies on what u think he needs and what u like plus if u want to just make nice ones or ones that will mostly be budgeting time spent together.
cards u can make online and print out besides all the other ways. Some sites are better than others:

a funny thing online is making your own magazine cover. like gardening dad of the year or whatnot:

idk if ur dad is online but here in a good link to email him:
http://www.geocities.com/missbanji/seedswapping.html
^to seed swap boards, usually can get for SASE if u have none to trade. dont go to daves cause its a pay place. check for level of activity b4 u sign to any tho. some are relatively inactive.
also, even if he is not online, lots of dads like to read. Online u can find him neat texts to share and keep him up to date. maybe try searching with your area plus the words "soil survey" for texts he would find fundamental. also, if he likes to try growing new things it is easy to get very important but obscure details online. here is how to find local or cultivation info...
well, i'm going to link u to two threads actually, one about how to find info but the other about making your own fertilizer because it is relatively new and bears heavily on compost tech:

Secret Santa: gardening gift ideas?
�r
We are having a Secret Santa in our office and the name that I picked is for a woman who I don't know much about. All I know is that she has a nice garden near her home. Last year, I picked her name and I bought her a plant. She loved it! I don't want to get her the same gift this year. It's too difficult to transport from home during the morning rush hour. Any suggestions? The maximum is $20. Thanks!
Answer
She would like a gift card to a gardening center.
