I had a couple of herbs went on the lam - I turned them out, used the dead dried stuff for mulch and re-potted them together.

Then I took a big plastic juice jug and cut the upper part . . .



A perfect recovery tent . . . a terranium, sort of . . .

Wow...thats a really creative idea! I bet it works great too

G-Mom

what a great idea! but i am going to move this to frugal gardening, this is the perfect kind of thing to put in there!!!

Oh, yes - it works. I've often done it when I want a plant to be protected - it helps hold the moisture too.

This one has the hole at the top, but when it's just the bottom of a pop bottle I slit a hole in it so the air can get in.

That one you see in the picture has summer savoury, wild oregano in it - and you know what's in the middle?

Heh! Heh! I know I'm a nut - but so is that thing that you find in the centre of the avocado. I'm curious to see if it produces anything.

I have a small seed from an avocado nut - I'm going to poke that in some soil too. I love experimenting.
