What can I use this for?

[veggiechicken]

I could hang it on its side, perhaps? OR I could put it in the old dunny and stand my hammers and thingys upright in the compartments, OR in the kitchen with wooden spoons or glasses etc......
Speaking of which, any sloe gin left?

You're obviously well practised in the art of surface to air paper missiles (or summat) Chris
Pity I'm not a golfer, I could gopher a hole in 12!

[Bigmallly]

Quite like this idea......

[veggiechicken]

Yes, BigM, I really like that Its quirky, and I happen to have a bag of settee legs (don't ask) just waiting for a use. You've got me thinking now..........

Edit - Is there a link to that photo please?

101 uses for a Milk Crate | How do you use milk crates?

[veggiechicken]

101 ! 101 ! You mean I have to find another 100 ? And I thought we were trail blazing here Bet they don't have the ones that have already been suggested though
Thanks BM for looking

[Bigmallly]

They call the site 101 but only show about a dozen. The light fitting is quite cool.

[veggiechicken]

I don't think my house is big enough for that!

Mothhawk, have you tried using a pallet stood on its side so that you drop the canes down into it?

A pallet!! A pallet!! Good grief! I can only get my bike in the shed by turning the front wheel sideways and it has to go in the shed 'cos there's no room to leave it outside. We're talking small garden here, VC, as in, the runner beans are growing around the peonies as well as up the canes, the broad beans grow between the spuds, the sweetcorn is among the cabbages, the squash is sharing with sweet peas and the rasps are co-habiting with Florence Fennel (not in person, you understand), and between all that the foxgloves and delphiniums and everything else squeezes in where it can.

I'm not Hyacinth Bucket's sister you know, I don't have "room for a pony"!

[veggiechicken]

Ok, Ok, Mothhawk, I get the message! What about a piece of drainpipe, stood upright, canes dropped inside it and wrapped with wiremesh to use for your climbing thingamies?#
I still don't know how to use my crate though

[Paulottie]

How disappointing and mundane! I thought it was some secret plaster finishing trick of the trade that I was about to learn with which to amaze the next plasterer I meet (not just the vertically challenged ones).

They also come in quite handy to sit on during teabreak...multi use tool.


Ohhhh...just seen Bigmalley's ones with cabriole legs and a cushion!!!

You could always board one out with our very own PB

[areia]

upside down hanging basket, flowers or herbs ??
tip it upside down carefully fill with soil and plant strawberries in so they hang over the edge=no rotting strawbs

erm will get bk when i think of anymore

VC - how about cutting out the bottom under each section then place the crate on top of the ground or a raised bed , fill each section with suitable mix for long carrots to give them a lovely start for growing nice and straight for your allotment show - for details about the best mix consult AP - that's what I'm going to do, although I will be using the cardboard or plastic tube inserts for carpets, whichever I can beg off the local carpet fitter - I already have one which I have cut in two - should be able to do so again allowing for 4 carrots and I will sink them into a raised bed.
