    There are a few things you can do with these jugs.

    1. Winter sow with them here's a link.

    Had a late frost come up and i just cut the bottom off ,took the lid off and placed them over my veggie babies.

    And when the season is over just take a rope and run it through the handles and hang them in either your garage or carport

    What a great idea to not only keep your plants frost free but to also deter critters from eating the young plants!!! :D

    The old lady across the street tells me she places filled jugs next to her young trees to keep the dogs from peeing on them :eek: Is she pulling my leg? Has anyone else heard of this or has the old bird flipped her lid???

    Deanna, I have never heard that. I would think that the dogs would pee on the milk jugs as well. Maybe 'she's an ounce short of a gallon'. :D :D
