Title: DIY on coat hangers
Post by: kenkew on March 20, 2004, 16:48:44
No gardener in the world will throw away a decent bit of strong wire...my latest use for a bit of old wire coat hanger was lots of 'hooks' for fat balls.
What have you used them for in the garden?

..would agree....what a very useful tool they are....

Won't work, ladies. When the men see what they can really do with them their clothes will be like mine, on the floor, bed, chair, door, washer, table......

Changed my mind now about you coming to live in Scotland - I've already got a man as messy as you - you'd only encourage each other!  :P

Another use for wire coat hangers; When you next pot up an indoor plant that is tall enough to need support, starighten out the hanger, put a 'curl' in one end and feed it up through the hole of the pot. Plant your plant and the wire will do as a support. Boom, boom.

.... and if you put a curl in the top end, you could hang it up as well!
