Thanks, Lisa! They do work really well as cloches. Though, as I mentioned earlier, this article was written before I discovered winter sowing, so most of my jugs now are used for that

Thanks for stopping by!

Great ideas! I drink lots of milk too, and I was hoping to try them as cloches this year. Never thought of the rest, though

Thanks for the great tips! I use empty milk containers for wintersowing, but I will be giving some of these ideas a try, too!

Great post. Since I don’t drink a lot of milk I have to adapt these milk jug uses to 2 liter soda bottles.

Hi Tina!

This was written before I discovered the wonders of wintersowing You’re right though — that’s an awesome way to use them up!

Thanks for stopping by!

Excellent!
We humans waste way, way too much stuff. You can also use them as bird feeders.
But, oh my gosh – you’ve forgotten the best use of all – WSing!
