Default boards versus what?

I've used old wine bottles turned upside down and tapped into the soil.

They have been in place now for 11 years and nor a single breakage!
it takes a while to drink enough wine though..............hic ....... "~)

That's not a bad idea at all. It would also save trips to the bottle bank

We saved wine bottle (used) corks for a friend then she said she didn't want
them after all. I had a very large carrier bag full and offered it on
freecycle - two people wanted them! Now the second bag is about half full. I
reckon we'd have enough bottles for our plots by spring.
