We've got a carrier bag full of these package fillers. I'm thinking they'd work on the small/medium canes. I was going to use them in the bottom of containers
@Rubytoo@Helios I have a bag full of corks 😳 but can I ask how you fastened them onto the canes?
If anyone else wants to build up their cork collection for purely gardening health and safety reasons of course- they are still more common with french wines and Prosecco/cava are good sources
I do not use many corks anymore, but used them for the smaller diameter sticks. \i am afraid you need to predrill a bit of a hole as trying to push them onto a bigger cane is not really possible. But it does work out a cheap alternative to "proper" posh ones if you do not mind making a pilot hole. Sober with drill in hand of course. If you set up on a workbench with a small bit pilot hole them all, then a larger one for your general average sized poles/bamboo. Put a piece of tape around the drill bit so you can set the length you need to drill without going right through. Or give grand children serious elasticated goggles to wear
Not keen on Cava prosecco but Asti has wires on the corks so could tighten the wires on the canes ...Cheers!

Are they the polystyrene ones? They do come in a variety of styles and a couple of different materials. Just asking as some (though usually a pale breakfast cereal brown/beige) melt in water or the rain, being corn based. Packing peanuts we call them.
We used to get some that are like half circles. You can rather appropriately for the topic stuff them over your eyes. You cannot see but it does protect your eyes. I used to do a fair impersonation of the master in the old 70's tv series Kung Fu. Kwai Changs master who was blind. Oh so culturally and physically challengingly inappropriate these days, but by heck it got some laughs
Just didn't want you to be disappointed if they melted B3 Containers for drainage but if you compost old stuff you do have to consider separating them later.
I must admit, it's easier to pick out broken polystyrene plant trays. Being lazy, when the time comes, I'll probably just pick out the ones I can see and assume the rest will aereate the soil. If they melt on the stick, maybe that'll stop them from blowing away😉
Ah, life changes when you discover Swann and Morton. You might find yourself wondering how you ever envisaged life without them. Surgical blades. The answer to everything (if the previous answer is not 'the right kind of glue', 'long, deep sleep' or 'a hot bath'.)
