Growing containers

I only brought a few pots with me so in the short term I need to use anything that comes to hand as a growing pot.

Household containers that work well are tins, milk bottles (cut in half use top & bottom), butter containers, plastic containers that fruit like strawberries come in. All you need to do is drill (or poke) a few holes in the bottom.

Even glass bottles will work for something like mint that is happy to have wet feet.

I particularly like old plastic milk bottles and use them for a variety of things - I poke holes in the bottom with my cake skewer and, depending just what I'm doing with it, drill a hole in the lid. (I'll explain my milk container sprouting method in another post.)
