Title: recycling that easyair stuff you get in packages
Post by: norfolklass on March 06, 2007, 14:20:14

my boss has just taken delivery of a box of stuff that came packed in those inflated polythene pockets
http://www.easypack.net/easyair.htm and I've been sitting at my desk racking my brains, sure that there
must be something that they could be used for.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of it, but if you cut one end open and poke drainage holes in the other,
you end up with little polythene planting pockets that can be filled with soil and used to start off seeds
(think Cleve West did it with peas in plastic pockets in a plant pot on that rubbish GW prog on allotments
last Friday).

can't wait to try them out! ;D

Cut the holes with a paper hole punch. ;D

Line the sides of your compost heap with them to keep the heat in?

I've used them for a couple of years to put round things in the unheated greenhouse - last year round early pea plants grown in a big tub.

Hang them on the washing line and watch you're neighbours' reaction!

I've now got a pile of them on the end of my desk, and a bin bag full of them under it... ::) ;D
