You remember floppy disks (if not, ask your parents). Everyone had them and saved copies of backup disks in these boxes . Well, it's time to give them a new life as mini greenhouses.

What a great way to reuse what was once a necessity in lots of homes. Nice tip Ed

Very clever use for those cases! (too bad I got rid of mine long ago...)

Great idea that I would never have thought of!

Now I have to find them ... they must be in one of these cardboard boxes ... (*)

(*) My walls are lined with over 100 cardboard boxes. Maybe 120-150.

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

Does anyone remember how many floppy disks you needed to install Windows 95?

LOL -- probably one?

I remember having a computer at an office I worked in that didn't even have a hard drive... in the day of the "original floppies." One slot for the program disk, one slot for a disk if you wanted to save a file.
