No. 7, Water-retaining granules.
I can highly recommend RainGel products from www.plant-watering.com I have used them for years and they massively reduce the amount of watering need in baskets and pots. Good for you and the environment.

Mr Raspberry, very good idea but you don't need to buy nozzles. Just put the screw top back on and make a TINY hole in the bottle near the top. I use two bottles (with their bottoms cut out as you say) for each vulnerable shrub.
what fantastic ideas so helpful.
thanks Linda.
