Babies dummies and bottle tops.

No, no I'm not asking you to have a baby just to help your garden along honestly!!!
However, you're bound to know of someone who has a new infant. A daughter, grandaughter, neighbour or friend or even a local mother and toddler group you could asK for help?
Collect as many old dummies and teats from feeding bottles as you can manage. Cut off the 'nipple' - they fit perfectly on to the tops of garden canes and will save you poking yourself in the eye when you bend down to weed.

That is exactly what happened to me. I put my eye into a stick as I bent down to weed. The focus on the weed I did not see the stick. The eye is damaged. I see chinese writing with that eye and nice long pointed stars. After a few months the brain took over and ignored the fancy letters, but I still see fancy stars.
Now where to get those nipples. It is worth it to buy new ones!
