« on: January 31, 2013, 20:29 »

A chap on our plots fastens them to 4 posts,1 in each corner & uses them for compost bins.
A woman's place is in her garden.

That looks to be the size of a sand bag rather than a builders rubble sack

You can roll them down a bit to make a large plant pot in which to grow a courgette for example.  You could fill it with compost, tie the end tightly, lay it down like a growbag and use it thusly  :)

We split them down one side and along the bottom and use them around the outside of the plots as windbreak.  I have them pinned to my pallet fence but others have just strung them between poles.

I think they'll let light through, so the spuds will go green.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
