A few weeks ago, I started to collect milk bottles for growing a herb garden.

A friend looked at me curiously when she asked what all the bottles were for.

She is now collecting milk bottles & passing this easy recycling tip on.

If you get a plastic milk bottle, ( cut out as pictured below ) & put a few holes in the bottom by sticking a sharp knife into the base, you can get plant propagators with carry handles for free.

Also if you have the handles South facing, the plant can enjoy extra warmth from the sun shining through the plastic handle.

Another advantage of using these recycled milk bottle pots, is that you can easily see when the roots are well established enough to plant out.

With the left overs of the empty milk jug, you can cut strips for labelling your pots.
