I don't think I've ever seen a serious gardener with shiny new stuff everywhere. When I was in my youth, I had a friend whose family gardened homesteader-style before that term was even a thing in its modern sense. I have also more recently done yard work for a farmer's market hobby farm owner. Both recycled and jury-rigged and made do as much as possible.

I hear ya! When I was little I used to help my grandma in her massive garden, and she reused or had my papa make pretty much everything she needed. I loved her green bean towers that he made for her, they seemed massive to me when I was a sprout (no short jokes!) and I loved to hide inside them. As you've been to my house more than a couple of times, I am pretty sure you know where we fit in on the reuse and baling twine engineering spectrum😁
