The message from Broadback contains these words:

I saw a novel idea at a Yellow Book garden at the weekend. A narrow
raised bed containing a row of strawberry plants had been edged with
green wine bottles. (green bottles, not green wine!) The bottles were
pushed, neck down, to about 1/3 of their height, in rows either side.
Ok for something not too permanent. Unfortunately several of the
bottles had weeds growing in them. I guess corking the bottles would
have stopped that.
