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

Good ideas seem to have a life of their own. Bottles were a favoured
garden edging in Oz in the late 19th and early 20th century. The well
to do used nice terracotta moulded garden edges and the working class
used any sort of bottles matching up styles and bottle colours for
individual beds. Nice to see that the fashion is still alive and well
in a garden.
