Post by: jennym on July 05, 2005, 04:34:08
This souns naff - but I find that an old wooden chopstick is great for making holes in compost to insert cuttings.

 :) I also use them when taking cuttings, I stick one in middle of pot as a support  then pop it in poly bag, that way you don't get the wet polythene touching the plant & causing rot.  :)

See, I always knew I bought about a dozen sets of chopsticks from the charity shop for a reason and not just that they only cost 30p - well that really was the reason but don't tell anyone. 

Now I shall go and tell OH that we no longer need to have a feast and invite all the neighbours just to use them  ;D

lol...yes a girl after my own heart. I bought some containers....because they were cheap, I've finally found a use for them. I've washed and chopped all the fruit and put them in the fridge. instead of a plate with cling film round. ;D I knew they'd come in useful ;)

Yes Val but why is it I can never find things like long lengths of wood or things in skips that I can make reaaaalllly big impressive things out of.  ???  My OH thinks I'm really embarrassing and won't get me go and rummage.  Sometimes it is the size that counts....
