Space saving idea.

[jansman]

Take a bleach bottle and take apart like this:

Drill holes in the bottom for drainage.

I pass a roof lath through the handles and hang them in my greenhouse. You could hang them from a fence. Fill with compost and grow strawberries, herbs, salad leaves...anything is possible.

It saves a lot of space on my greenhouse bench.

P.S Pics are the wrong way round , but I only just got the hang of it!

Oh very clever. I like it!

Thanks for that, I'm always looking for ways to make the best use of space in my greenhouse. I might try something like this against a bare wall, put some wood batons on the wall and hang these off them.

There's over 700 pages to look at so perhaps not in one go?

Looks like he nicked my idea,and then some!

Or maybe ......you're the same person !!!

a pal of mine screwed jam jar lids to the underside of the shelves in his shed to give extra sorage

Not sure I'd grow anything edible in bleach bottles, to be honest. But the idea is sound.

I did it last year.Mainly coriander and basil.I did some oak leaf lettuce too.

Why?


Bleach breaks down to release Chlorine gas, exactly the same way that water purifying tablets do.

Its also used in industry to treat drinking water and for washing pre-packed salads.

Please forgive me if this is a lesson in egg-sucking.
