Title: shot gun casings
Post by: vespaman on April 17, 2008, 17:30
not as bad as it seems,,but if you know where to look you can find loads of spent cartridges,then all you do is pop them ontop of yer poles that you use for small pea plants,etc thus you wont take yer eye when bending over them,plastic coke bottles do the same job but look messy..

Somebody on here uses bio yoghurt pot things, so as to imply that they lead a healthy lifestyle

also, with the plastic hull types (most common ones) slice off the head (bit with brass on) and bundle a load of them together, pack with compost for seed cells! then when ready just push them out from the other end

please only do this with SPENT shells :shock:
