drainage and keep these in the recycle box. Ask your friends and neighbours if they have any spare paint trays they don’t want.
Plastic covers
A mineral water bottle cut in half can be transformed into two mini-greenhouses and will protect individual plants from cold nights. Clear plastic sheeting from packaging should also be saved and can be turned into small makeshift cloches, which are invaluable in early spring.
Cutlery
Keep a couple of old spoons or forks from the cutlery drawer for the garden. They are ideal tools for dealing with small plants in a greenhouse or potting shed.
Look out for garden possibilities before you commit anything to the rubbish. Large clean tin cans and old metal buckets can be transformed into interesting planters once you’ve made some drainage holes in the bottom. Old chimney pots, wooden crates and wine boxes all have garden use potential.
Get the kids involved
Save lolly (lollipop) sticks, straws and other paraphernalia for pot markers and seed rows. Getting the kids to collect stuff for a project now will help generate lots of interest in the garden later on.
