Not sure if SWMBO would appreciated me using her
tights to tie up flowers though,
The old laddered ones she has finished with. Or, use them for storing
onions.
Boots as planters - they must be joking!
What a waste of boots. Leather boots, woolly jumpers etc
are ideal longterm fertiliser, buried in the planting hole of a new
rhubarb patch.
Plastic wellies; cut strips off the sides to use as washers, or
hinges for the roof of birdboxes.
Janet.
Right, one pair of plastic Adult wellies will give you around 500
washers, you could just cut a couple of planting holes in them low down
and still get a couple of dozen washers.
I'm surprised that no one has picked up on "covering old containers with
wallpaper"
Wouldn't work in this area with the rain we get.
Tornio says soap can keep deer from feasting on trees and plants, so
does slow roasting,
I have used old stockings, cut in strips across the leg, for tying in
plants, they last around a year.
