Just to agree with D.D and hamstergbert;

My beloved (but admittedly strange) Grandfather once painted his greenhouse glass green to see if it helped his plants.  (He said "Well, its called a greenhouse",  I was about eight at the time and charmed.)  It didn't work.

I use milk containers with the bottoms cut off, placed over the plant, "screwed" into the ground then secured with a bamboo cane. When the leaves push through the top and have about 4" growth, I take them off. It helps to deter snails and slugs too.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Yes D.D. recycled, today as it happens  :D. Hamstergbert's version was more scientific tho' D.D  ;)

I was asked if I was building a greenhouse with my canes of bottomless bottles (none green :D)

Speaking of rattling in the wind, they've probably done a Mary Poppins in this wind an' all!  ::)

He sounds like my dad Green Owl  ;).

Same size as other 2L pop bottles Stompy, Sprite I think  :unsure:, my son & his girlfriend drink the pop.
That's what I do with the pop bottles Goosegirl  :)
