Whats everyone keeping to recycle down allotment

[noviceveggrower]

Hi everyone.
Was just wondering what everyone recycles down their allotment or garden? I have the usual toilet rolls and plastic bottles started to mount up.
Has anyone used a Pringle type tube for their leeks? Heard one guy once say he used them and that it saved him mounding them up and he just recycled them when he had lifted the leeks.
Being a novice grower would find any tips or hints helpful.
Thanks

I save the tubes that soluble vitamin C tablets come in and use them on top of canes to stop eye poking. Squash bottles with their bottoms cut out, planted next to various plants for watering direct to the roots

I have an old clothes airer that I cover in plastic and use as a sort of mini greenhouse/cloche.

I'm saving both the large yoghurt pots and the small creme caramel pots at the moment. The first for starting off long rooted veg and the latter for individual mini cloches over my seedling trays.

Squash bottles for watering directly to roots as Fleurisa does. Now going to save pringle tubes (my grandchildren love them) for leeks, what a good idea and so simple. I've learned so much fron this forum and got so many good ideas...love it!

An old tin bath gets used as a makeshift cold frame with a bit of corrugated PVC for the lid.

I save the tops from small water bottles and put them on large plastic bottles with the bottom cut off to get water to the root of the plants and stop water being wasted. Also use milk bottles filled with water to weigh down netting

ice cream containers good for storing,planting your seeds/plants,cut up the lids for use as labels,also margarine tubs the same,any large enough plain plastic food container,meat,cake,trifle dishes, ext,depending on size make cloches,trays for smaller pots to hold water,stand a plant in,lots of uses,for those that have drinks cartons with the foil inside,cut the top of for quick plant pots,especially if passing plants/seeds on,save you chasing your pots,

Newspapers to smother the weeds on the paths in between my beds.

Paper shredding, egg boxes and wood based cat litter (minus the clumps) to provide brown material in my compost daleks.

False teeth (From when we had a care home) Ideal for crimping the edges of pies.

Bill, errr, sorry maybe I'm being a bit dense, but why are you making pies at the allotment ?

[Bill HH]

At the annual barbeque of course

Well you keep your false teeth to yourself, thanks.
