Came across a tip for using plastic milk bottle for storing & distributing vericulite on your website survey.
Wonder what other usages there are for the plastic bottle.

They are regularly used in cemetery's in France instead of watering cans. [that regularly go walk-about.]

I WISH, even if I wobble and rattle around the plot the pigeons and crows ignore me.
However just like Diane I persist in trying to enlist the benefit of Percy Verence
I also either remove or make small holes in the lid and cut off the base of the bottle, then with a stout cane pushed down securely into the ground and the bottom of the bottle facing up it acts as a water collector for rain or when watering tomatoes, brassicas etc
The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

I use one pint plastic milk bottles for freezing home made soup. I whizz the soup with a stick blender first for easy pouring. A pint conveniently serves two decent portions. They're stronger and more reliable than using plastic bags and I just dunk the frozen bottle in a bowl or saucepan hot water to thaw it out.
