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'd rather have a million washers than plant anything in old wellies
:-)
I'm surprised that no one has picked up on "covering old containers with
wallpaper"
Well I didn't want to say anything too rude for a family group.
