used an old jar as a propigator

Frequently. That is how my father always propagated his cuttings, under a jam jar in a north facing border.

you mean rooting something in a jar of water? or using a jar
as a cloche?
i'm currently rooting a twisted willow in a jar of water &
i've had cut roses root accidentally (so i planted them).
it works for some things better than others.

Last night while sitting in my chair
I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

No but I have used 5litre water bottles, just cut the top off and stick it over your seedling, makes a great cloche. (Remember to weigh it down with a rock though or it could be gone with the wind )

Canada Bans Plastic Bottles Tied to Health Concerns

By IAN AUSTEN
Published: April 18, 2008

OTTAWA ‹ The Canadian government moved Friday to ban polycarbonate
infant bottles as it officially declared one of their chemical
ingredients toxic.

Nalgene brand water bottles had used bisphenol-a, which some studies in
animals linked to hormonal changes.

The move by the departments of health and environment is the first
action taken by any government against bisphenol-a, or B.P.A., a
chemical that mimics a human hormone and that has induced long-term
changes in animals exposed to it through tests.

³We¹re not waiting to take action to protect our people and our
environment from the long-term effects of bisphenol-a,² the environment
minister, John Baird, told a news conference.

The most immediate impact of the toxic designation will be a ban on the
importation and sale of baby bottles made with clear, hard
polycarbonate. That move will not take effect until the end of a 60-day
discussion period, however.

The health minister, Tony Clement, told reporters that after reviewing
150 research papers on B.P.A. and conducting its own studies, his
department concluded that the chemical posed the most risk for newborns
and children up to the age of 18 months. The minister said that animal
studies suggest ³there will be behavioral and neural symptoms later in
life.²

Not only are potentially unsafe exposure levels to B.P.A. lower for
children than adults, Mr. Clement said that cleaning infant bottles with
boiling causes the release of the chemical into their contents.

He suggested that the government had planned to also ban the use of
epoxies made with B.P.A. and sprayed into most infant formula cans as a
lining. But, he added that no practical alternative is currently
available.

Both ministers, however, insisted that current research showed that
adults who use food and beverage containers made with B.P.A. related
plastics were not at risk.

³For the average Canadian consuming things in those products, there is
no risk today,² Mr. Clement said.

The government will, however, begin monitoring the B.P.A. exposure of
5,000 people between now and 2009. If research indicates a danger to
adults, the government will take additional action, the officials said.

In addition to its concerns about infants and young children, the
government said that its B.P.A. review found that even low levels of the
chemical can harm fish and other aquatic life forms over time.

If the baby bottle ban takes effect on June 19, an event that can only
be derailed by significant new evidence, it may have little practical
effect.

Reports earlier this week indicating that the government would declare
B.P.A. toxic prompted a rush by most of Canada¹s major retailers to
remove food-related B.P.A. products from their stores. The company¹s
largest druggist, Shoppers Drug Mart, took the step on Friday at its
1,080 stores shortly before the announcement.

Nalgene, the company that turned polycarbonate bottles from a piece of
lab equipment into a popular drink container, has also decided to drop
the plastic and use others plastics that do not contain B.P.A.

In Washington on Friday, Senator Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat from New
York, said in a statement that he intended to introduce a bill that
would create a widespread ban on B.P.A.-related plastics. It would
prohibit their use in all children¹s products as well as any product use
to carry food or beverages for adults.

Oh noes! I think I can feel the 'hormonal changes' already.

Oh I forgot to mention make sure you puncture some holes (2 or 3) in two sides of the bottle, this will allow a wee bit of fresh air to flow through.

That wee bit of air will keep your plants from frying in the heat,
which is what happened to my peanuts yesterday. I had been very careful
not to leave a plastic lid over the plants slightly raised, but in
moving some small potted plants, including the peanuts, I forgot to
check the lid. Hope I have a few seeds left, otherwise it's wait
till next year. Dang (
