Make a mini propagator from a clear plastic drinks bottle, ideal for Fuchsia cuttings or growing sunflower seeds etc. Cut the bottle in two, a few inches from the base, put in some compost, place the cutting or seed into this and water in. The two parts can then be sellotaped together. Leave on a bright windowsill or outside. The top can be taken off to allow for ventilation. Another idea that I’ve been experimenting with is to use a small plastic drinks bottle as a water reservoir for hanging baskets. Leave the lid on, cut the base off and make a succession of small holes down the length of the bottle. Tip upside down and sink into the middle of the hanging basket. This can be filled with water and hopefully this will soak the centre of the basket.
