Just seen something really neat ...... Cut middle off botles, use bottom (after making a few holes in it) as mini propagator and fit top of bottle...on top Cool

Et voila!
oh and middle bit can be used as slug barrier Cool

Don't drink pop !!! Rolling Eyes

... but use milk bottles instead Wink

... the really clever bit is that if you cut bottle in half and invert the pointy end inside the end bit ... you have a slug trap !!!

... put in beer and they can't get out !! Razz

the wine bottle edging pic comes from the Aranya site (which is truly inspirational)
