Just thought you'd like to know Maybe you can pretend to be French or some other nationality...........

Now you have got my OCD going............got to changed them now....damn woman.......

[veggiechicken]

I'm such a little tease..........

1 week on & I'm up and running, the onions have germinated so have unscrewed the top off the prop bottle............

[veggiechicken]

I'm about to steal your idea BM but using a 1 litre square milk container - I've cut the top from the base - on 3 sides only, so that it folds back, or can be propped open. Being square, I'll be able to pack them into a seed tray....all I need to do is scrounge more containers as I rarely buy milk

[Bigmallly]

I just found it better to push the top half of the bottle inside the bottom half so that the condensation ran down onto the soil & not everywhere else...........

[veggiechicken]

Thanks I can still push the top into the base but it goes in at an angle -
Thinks - that might mean that all the condensation will run down on the one side
I'll try it and see what happens - may end up severing the last side.

If you do decide to separate them, just cut a couple of small slits on each side of the bottom half to help the top half go in.

Will do!! Now to find some seeds

Oh, I'm sure you won't have any problem.........

[Bigmallly]

Just sown my 2nd prop bottle as the 1st ones are now 1 to 2" tall..........

[veggiechicken]

Oddly, I've just found my onion seeds - I've had my milk bottle full of compost warming in the kitchen for days - so any second I'll be sowing too

I've severed the top off completely and cut the corners off the top part so that it fits inside the base

Now sown! Time to find some seeds for the other 3 pots
