Anyone remember taking bottles back to the shop for the deposit money?

I think it's only the UK where this isn't standard still... (Probably the USA, too.)

weve just got some tyres off freecycle and painted them different colours and stacked the 2 high. all in position just deciding what to grow in them. i think will will use a feed sack as a liner and see how it goes. will maybe get some sand and add to compost to grow carrots.
they are positioned partly to stop the kids getting close to the greenhouse glass so multipurpose.

I thought about lining tyre towers with feed sacks but when it came down to it, I just planted the potatoes in the feed sacks.


It's great. Once the halums die back I just move the sacks to a cool dry place and they keep until December
