I had a couple of herbs went on the lam - I turned them out, used the dead dried stuff for mulch and re-potted them together.

Then I took a big plastic juice jug and cut the upper part . . .

A perfect recovery tent . . . a terranium, sort of . . .

Oh, yes - it works. I've often done it when I want a plant to be protected - it helps hold the moisture too.

This one has the hole at the top, but when it's just the bottom of a pop bottle I slit a hole in it so the air can get in.

That one you see in the picture has summer savoury, wild oregano in it - and you know what's in the middle?

Heh! Heh! I know I'm a nut - but so is that thing that you find in the centre of the avocado. I'm curious to see if it produces anything.

I have a small seed from an avocado nut - I'm going to poke that in some soil too. I love experimenting.
