Rice Container Propagators!

[freefolk]

Here is a tip: My wife and I quite often buy tubs of fried rice from Tesco (but any supermarket will do). When finished with, they make lovely little propagators with lids. We have used them to start onion seeds and, more recently, cucumbers from seed. Every little helps! PS. Much snow in Hampshire this morning.

Good idea. (We use them for frozen fruit and inverted as small bee feeders.

Gotta love re-cycling

Bee feeders?

Here is another one. Once all muffins are consumed (not long in this house!) you have a nice propagator with lid, measuring 20cm (w) x 15cm (d) x 12cm (h). Recycling - don't you just love it!

Bee feeders?

AT times bees need to be fed: either fondant or sugar syrup.
Fondant: cut small hole in lid, fondant inside, invert.
Or sugar syrup, few small holes in lid, fill container with sugar syrup, invery over holes in top of hive..

These containers used for all sorts of salads etc.

Be careful some don't like heat and will even distort in the dishwasher.

I stupidly poured some hot oil into one and it collapsed.

Here's another one!

The Profitier roll trays you get from "Morribogs" make exceptional propagators!







I find them espeicialy useful for bridging the gap between germination out of the prop and under the lights upstairs as the are not getting that much of a fluctuation in soil temp

An half way house as it were!

Loving it. Great ideas and great to re-use. Good for the environment.
