    If you lack seeding propagator's you can use old plastic cartons that hold your washing  machine tabs

    some off theses tips had me in stitches imageimage

    another one for seeding propagator's, plastic (that ugly word again edd) egg cartons, and another eco friendly one is cardboard egg cartons.

    Old gazebo frames make good cages, even better if you only use one part of the legs instead of two or three 

    Trampoline nets make good gooseberry covers

    Empty drinks cans make good net holder uppers so the net doesn't get caught on the stick 

    Empty bean tins make excellent post toppers so the post doesn't split when you are ramming it into the ground 

    Yogurt pots make very good seedling starter offers 

    Milk cartons with the tops cut off and holes drilled into the bottom make very good pots to put on the side of posts to grow herbs and such like 

     

    I'll be thinking of loads more now!

  • Not sure if this will work yet but... Had people collecting mini jam jars from their cream teas, without any idea of how to use them (I know they've been humouring me!). 2days ago filled with homemade seed compost & seeds. Uses minimum of limited amount compost & space on windowsills. I'll just pot up promptly if germinate. When done I'll wash jars & stash away again awaiting another idea!



    Also have neighbour collecting her daily individual jelly pots too. (She hoards them anyway, so we're doing each other a favour!!)

    But what is he planning? An auricula theatre? An outdoor seating venue for when he performs his 'hits of Robbie Williams' karaoke evenings?
