RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/10/17> Admit it fellows, we have an addiction and it is … time to come clean.
Lol - I did actually laugh out loud. You're too funny and I have no idea how you come up with the topics for your posts. I'm amazed how you can start out one way and turn it into something else. You definitely have a gift. We use milk jugs here for potting seeds to get them going. A container garden before we get everything planted. Enjoy your day! #theunmentionables
That makes two of us, half the time I don't know where I am headed when I start out writing, that is how I get side tracked so easily when I do the Daily Dose. Usually though the trip getting to the destination is a fun one.
Back when I used to grow "plants" , I used milk jugs as well, but I planted the seeds in the ground and then used the milk jug sort of as a "hot house" or green house. I cut the top handle and tapered part of and then turned it open end down over the seeds in the ground, the plastic worked like a magnifying glass and heated the soil and the seeds. I had a drip emitter irrigation line that had an emitter at each plant location so I didn't have to pick the jug up to water the seeds or seedlings, it was a pretty clean and easy deal. Once the plants got big enough I just threw the containers out, with as much milk as we drink we would just count how many weeks until we wanted to plant, and then started saving jugs.
That is a pretty great idea to make them into little greenhouses! I'll have to tell my husband about that! :) Why not send another project his way? We go through about 5 gallons a week. Milk is not nearly as cheap here as it is in the states...or at least as it was when we left. It's so weird. We are surrounded by dairies up here and milk (and all dairy) is pretty expensive.
