im in process of building a greenhouse with bottles.im also hoping to do cold frames too.
people save bottles for me.also keep general 'rubbish' for 'crafts'
my o/h had pnumonia and in his fevered state dreamed i built an extension from rubbish but it looked like a manor house...which gave me an idea. for a lean to made from beer bottles ect and shingles made from plastic bottles

i also collect jars cos there handy and people save veggy stuff for my wormery.

I am tempted to try a cold frame- I think you might have enough for that Annie. Just something simple, but use the same principles as for the greenhouse.

Yes I think A cold frame might be do-able, but what do i glue them together with?

Don't know why but I hoard tins- biscuit tins/ sweet tins- all end up in the garage- i suppose i expect one day that they will come in handy to keep "things" in!!
Anybody else have this affliction??

[RUSTYME]

er no .... just you !!!!   

no, you are not alone in a way though .. My one is/are coffee jars . 200g size . Good for nails and screws , you can see what is in them , but also good for pickles , jams , rice , wheat , oats etc etc ...

cheers

I'm going to start with seeds - most definitely.  Wool for spinning (from my sheep) and warm winter clothing is next as we may well be heading for a few decades of cold weather - hotly(!) followed by used veggie oil (if we can get hold of any) for obvious reasons.

My dad used to nail the jar lids to the underside of the garage shelf and screw the jars up to them so the jars of screws etc were hanging from the underside of the shelf. Saved space and all on display with easy access.

Hermit, your dad's idea is brilliant - makes we want to dash off to the garage with a hammer and jar of nails!

you dont glue them together .thread them onto bamboo poles and sort of squash them tight togther on a frame made of woodcut the bottoms off and stuff them inside each other  .very rigid. bottm one gets turned upside down
