Broken concrete is a great building material for garden stepping stones, raised beds, retaining walls, and patios. Gardeners who want to encourage concrete recycling have given it the name "urbanite." We discuss all the ways we've used broken concrete in our gardens, the pros and cons of using urbanite, and how to get it for free. Plus, Jami talks about the canning and preserving she's started for the year.
