Good use for used wine bottles

CT-I think you are talking about those aqua globes or something like that, right? I threw mine away too-they get clogged up. These dont. Have you used these ceramic for fertilization?

mdvpc,

Regarding the aqua globes.... I stuff the opening with a cotton ball, it seems to slow it down quite well.

Michael, awesome. Last year, on my first year tomato growing season I planted tomatoes in way too small containers. A friend at work taught me his mom's version of "plant nanny" - - - a 2-liter soda pop bottle/plastic!

The wine bottle version is prettier though.

Elizabeth-great to see you back at the forum. What you going to grow? I am using plant tone- got 80 pounds with a shipping charge of only 8.95. its 5-3-3 with all the minors. Real good. Also using myco at transplantation time and soil activator from T&J.

I should not have used plant nanny's in the greenhouse because no need to. I am going to use them on selected containers this summer. Stay tuned.

Moon-they are real nice looking. But nothing wrong with the 2 liter soda bottle! Whatever works, works.
