Money Saving Techniques

[Shortie]

After reading on here about milk bottle plant labels, I'm going to do that one this year. Been saving yoghurt pots for a while now for transplanting and have saved a couple of sports water bottles to use in the shed to water my seedlings easily thatn with a huge watering can

[Shortie]

I use the coffee stirrers - the wooden ones - as labels. Plus lolly sticks. I also use them if they are thicker for pricking out seedlings.

I tried this one 2 years ago and found when I watered the pots, the water crept up the stick and smudged the writing (I wrote on them with CD label markers)

My money saving idea is get two plastic shopping bags...thick ones. Fill them with foam chips, then force the wifes hands in to them and tape up the Cuffs.

This will prevent her getting her purse out and buying the contents of the High Street....It has worked for me.

But you need to remember to take them off at 5pm or you don't get any tea.

NOG old sweetheart, you are getting a bit nangy in your old age!!!

Happy New Year, and a prosperous one as well, or even preposterous.

On such a strong recommendation Snake, the next finished milk bottle will be attacked with a pair of scissors

Ditto, I'd never have thought of that!

I use a pencil; and would use milk cartons but we now have a milkman and glass milk bottles [I love having glass milkbottles, reminds me of being little].
