The cheapest propagator in the world!!!!!!!
« on: April 02, 2006, 14:11 »
Hello all! I thought I would let you know about a little invention that I made myself last weekend.
  Take a 4 pint plastic milk bottle, and cut it, just under the handle, around three sides, leaving the last side as a hinge. A square 9cm pot will fit nicely inside, with seeds sown in it! Water the pot, then seal the bottle with masking tape, or gaffer tape, any tape. Put the bottle on a sunny windowsill, and wait for your seedlings to appear! If they get too hot, you can take the lid off for ventilation!
  So far, I have germinated chives, basil, and cauliflower, in a week!!!!! Blue Peter career, here I come! :D
  P.S, a 6 pint bottle would fit 2 pots in it, the world is your oyster!
Peas out!

Yes the things you can do with those plastic milk bottles I use them for that and all sorts of things - they last forever don't they.


Well done Becky
