    I use a rocket cartridge to show where a clematis root is. They always look like dead sticks. The rocket sticks are handy for plant supports too.

    I used old storage heater bricks for my greenhouse floor. Hard wearing and stores heat and doesn't end up in landfill.  👍

    We liberated a bath from a neighbour's skip, going to be a pond eventually. Old Ikea drawer unit that used to house toys now my potting bench, complete with hole for wiping spilt soil back into a bucket.
