the greatest thing you are planting, is your love for your grandfather. You are sowing the best of yourself into the life of another person. you will never regret it. may God richly bless you and multiply your reward now and forever.
I cant believe how much better these home made garden tools are than expensive ones from the store! You have definitely inspired me to try these out! Thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing!!!
Project Diaries I live in Melbourne Australia & have also just discovered your channel. I’m 67 too & a beginner at growing my own herbs & vegetables & I find it very relaxing. I’m not very successful yet but I’m going to keep trying. I enjoy watching your channel very much. Thank you. Cheers 😊
As my mother says every time I tell her some ideas from your videos or other inspired people's videos, there should be a Nobel prize for such practical and ingenuous people. I totally agree. Thank you for sharing!
Firstly good lad for looking after your granddad, as a granddad that sounds as it should be. Thanks for the idea for making stuff from milk containers. And thanks for all your videos, very interesting, can't wait to get going.
It’s near the end of April 2020 (Covid19 pandemic) and this came up in my recommended feed... your beautiful smile made my day, because it seemed to be sparked from a beautiful heart. Thanks for the great ideas! I pray you are doing well in the three years since you made this video 💐💐💐
I love your ideas for milk jug hacks. I was able to adapt a few of them for US milk jugs, which have the handles on a corner rather than the flat side of the jug.
Just found your channel today. Three vids in and I'm hooked. I love that you reuse and repurpose things. My father grew up in Co Cavan during ration times. He was a big believer in finding a second or even third use for an item. Not a fan of our throw away ways. Repairing and reusing was a way of life I grew up seeing.. Your doing a great job and giving loads of information while your at it. Gardening and the love of it made accessible :)
New subscriber from the states. Love to see this. My late uncle used to protect their rose bushes with jugs such as this. My aunt and uncle had the prettiest grass, roses and just a gorgeous countryside. Miss them, those happy summer days and their knowledge and in my life. Im a grandmother and love gardening. God bless you and thank you. Ive enjoyed watching your videos. Your birds sound happy.
These ideas are so good that I've been passing them around the other gardeners at my allotment. The general consensus is "why didn't I think of that?". Great work.
I’m so happy to have found your channel this morning. Love your delivery of the information. Looking forward to having some great cheap colour around my house next year. This summer I filled a small planter and it cost me £70! I can’t afford to keep doing that. I have already watched your collecting seeds and growing petunia videos. Awesome, simple instructions. Thank you.
A man after my heart. I love finding ways to reuse plastic as it’s so nasty for the environment. When I finish any container, I wash out put and sit looking at it to dream up ways to make it useful again. People really need to do this as it saves money and keeps stuff out of landfills. Thanks for this post. Be well.
This is a brilliant video. Have just spent a few hours using empty plastic water bottles and milk bottles to plant up all my seeds just like this. Can’t wait to see the snap peas, watermelon, lettuce, squash and couchettes come up in my milk containers. Loved the plastic labels. Brilliant way to recycle.
You are such a clever lad! Thank you for making all of your fabulous videos! And God Bless you for taking care of your granddad.You're a gem! Too bad my daughter doesn't live in the UK anymore.
She moved back to Southern California where we are from. But relocating soon to Texas. She attended Vet school at the University of Glasgow. She loved living there but missed the sun. Thanks again.
one of the best presenters ive seen , ive been using these ideas,for many years makes a realy good poopa scoopa, chook food scoop, you can pay a fortune for a made in china scoop.
Awesome Tips... Was even more interesting to see that Lovely Smile.. this turned up in my recommendations today on RUclips and is so pleasant watch in these dark times of Lockdown. Thank You So Much for this one..
Great stuff. I've picked up to two more use from your videos 😊👍. We are also big milk users and hence plenty. Nothing goes to waste. Never bought plant labels. I use dish washing steel wool or scourge to rub away markers but now I have so many labels I don't need to. Another use you can add is using the bottle as a cloche. I cut off the seedling tray part and make a hole in the cap for ventilation and prop it on newly planted seedling in the garden and end of winter. Also used it to make a template for sowing seed.cut out flat pieces to fit your tray and make holes and sow seeds. No thinning required and better when time to transplant. Love your work. Great video.
I loved this video! My son has a recycle project due his Monday and we definitely be using old bottles to make garden tools. I also grew up on Tony Hart: he inspired my artistic side. The show I watched and loved most was “Take Hart” thanks for your easy handy guide.
Great recycling ideas. I loved Blue Peter & Vision On for craft projects but my mother wouldn't let us keep any boxes, yoghurt pots or packaging etc for long enough to finish building anything, they all got thrown in the bin - we were such deprived kids lol.
Oh my goodness! I'll be driving my family even more crazy now! I can't look at anything without thinking, "How can I reuse that atleast one more time? ". These are some great repurpose ideas. Thank you for the video!
I love your ideas! I was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I get very dizzy but gardening is the top of the list over playing my mandolin, sewing and any other hobbies I have. I get something so beautiful out of just little effort and for the most part, there's no danger in getting hurt, especially with the homemade items you just showed me how to make. I can't work anymore so if I can get disability, I will spread my garden out a lot bigger and can hopefully have a greenhouse and grow all year long. It sure does come in handy when you don't have money for groceries. Thank you so much, you have made me happy today!One other thing...How do you find out what milk containers are made of?
I'm so glad I made you happy! MS is an awful thing to have and I really hope you can manage it in the best way you can. Good luck with your Disability and dreams for your garden :)
Great ideas. I have rifled through my bin to get more plastic bottles out so I can show a group of Syrian Asylum Seekers who on a miniscule budget, are keen to grow a few vegetables. Making these tools too will be helping their recycling habits .Such great ideas-thankyou so much.Brilliant!
Awesome! 😊 love this!!! I was thinking about making a hanging herb garden out of them by cutting off the bottom, nailing them to a board by the handle, and poking holes in the cap as drainage. Also, I use hand sanitizer to wipe my markings off of the labels. Wipes right off with a paper towel after a few wipes. Have a Blessed day my friend! Thank you for this brilliant idea! 👍👍👍
Love, love, love. Now stand the bottle upright cut between the handle top and the lid, a quarter of the way strait down on each side, then to the front of the bottle. This is a scoop! I use this to water my pots in the front yard from the rain barrel. Only I use the gallon jugs. I use the the one solid w/holes in the lid to water seedlings and lettuce. Lettuce loves to cool off. Also if you take your jugs, cut off the bottom and bury the (without the lid) upside down- plant them and it conserves water directly to the plant. While still allowing roots out if need be. You could make that hole bigger too. Hanging pots...etc. I love clever ideas like this. Good job!
Only getting into gardening and growing tomatoes an strawberrys an peppers an you make everything so simple and easy an i learn something from every1 of your videos thank you 👍
A very informative video. Who would think that a plastic jug could have so many uses! I wish I saw this video earlier . Now I’m saving my plastic containers !
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring, I don't have a lot of money so I'll be using your ideas to do creative things with my three boys, thank you so much for sharing your ideas x
I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered your videos. I needed this last year as I started my planting journey however the bit of knowledge I have from last year together with you videos will be the perfect pairing for this years plants 🪴 so many helpful tips. Thank you 🤩
Mate- you're a genius! I too used to watch Tony Hart and Blue Peter and it's great to see you sharing your ideas with others. Well done on a really informative series of vids. Happy gardening.
Steve Garrod ditto I am late to the party, but art attack, tony hart were fricking amazing and so you are brother, loving your videos and that smile, defo making the tools from milk bottles that’s why I stumbled on your channel. In these unprecedented times gardening (and be it being very sunny is a plus )I am trying to grow stuff.
I try this. The DIY scoop works better than the one that I bought from store. And now I use the left over yogurt, milk, water containers as pot. Thank you for the ideas. Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the video and all the hacks, I am 70 and just starting out being a gardener, and using these hacks will save me a lot of money as I am on disability. ;) ty
Hello. I was watching a gardening program a few days ago. The presenter had a milk carton cut in to a watering can and I was amazed by how good it worked .So obviously I wanted to do the same but forgot how to cut the carton so that the handle became the spout for water to feed my plant. Thanku for u vids .
Such a win! love the big scoop. I've just started gardening because I have time now (lock down) and your videos are the most helpful. Really practical and cost effective. I want to plant everything now haha :) :)
Really clever! We don't have milk bottles here, but I have seen juice bottles. I will definitely try it out. Thanks for sharing this. Love from Denmark
I made four scoops one for planting, one for scooping rice and flour, and two poops scoopers, great for scooping cat litter and poop out of litter tray. Thank you. I use the funnel for filling dried beans and lentils, rice and couscous into storage jars and containers. So hand and sturdy Thank You very much.
Love you so much! Are you single? LOL! JK. I have been making things to use around the house and garden, barn and chicken sheds for years. I am Miss Frugal. Been making the bottle waterers for years. Thanks for the great videos. I am going to make a compost bin out of pallets and a garbage bag holder out of pallets too, just to keep the neighbors dogs from ripping my bags apart before the truck comes to pick them up! Cheers!
As i do all of this work by myself and I am disabled, each project takes me a while to complete. My 91 yr old mom lives with me and keeping up the house and yard takes a lot out of me each day, but I like to keep busy. Your videos inspire me!
Project Diaries When I bought this house I did so with my mom on mind. wanting to make it comfortable for her too. Now it is time to get her involved in planting the garden too. I try to keep her going in such ways.
Firstly I would like to thank you for your time, effort and hard work you put into your videos, but also I would like to ask you if using plastic coke bottles for growing cayenne chillies will be harmful to my health as it is my first time growing food of any kind! Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read this message.
Any plastic drinking Bottle is usually Ric code (1) which is PET Plastic. It is safe for one use but will leach over long periods. It's deemed a safe plastic but it's the least safer as it's weaker and more subject to UV damage. I use them but recycle them after a few uses. I hope this helps :)
Just latched on to your videos while searching solutions to my blackspot problem which I found very informative and simple and which I will be following very soon Going with the milk bottle theme, I recently saw a video from an American lady who uses them as cold frames to grow seeds during their Winter. She cuts them in half, plants the seeds then tapes the two halves together again and as Monty Don said "if it can survive their winters then it should survive ours"
Forgot to say I love the premise of your channel. Reduce, reuse & recycle; the 3 R's. It doesn't occur to a lot of people that the plastic gardening paraphernalia that they spend time & good money to acquire from stockists is more than likely sitting around in their kitchens and or recycling bins. It's often made of the same type of plastic... which they've already paid for when they did their grocery shopping.
hehehe... you could send me a couple butternut seedlings! I have been developing frozen sorbet recipes using cooled cooked butternut squash! It is amazing to get a hidden veggie into my hubby and also I am weaning us off of ice cream and saving a bunch of green stuff! I am passing on your video GOOD JOB!
Well this really came in handy haha. Have been making a list of things need to buy for my little gardening activities but this just made me save so much. Thanks for the vid!
Brilliant video! We love our tea in Ireland so like yourself I always have milk bottles handy. I loved those shows too :D Keep up the great videos, they've really helped me start growing plants :)
I'm not a gardener, But You Inspire me to Grow things! I noticed Your yoghurt pots, for the seedlings. Lovely, Cheerful Personality, is Your Grandfather still alive, If So, He Is Very Blessed By You. I Know nothing about Gardening, But I Always thought about Growing Herbs Indoors, I Will Check out Your Other Videos, Love the Graphics By the way! Take Care.
the greatest thing you are planting, is your love for your grandfather. You are sowing the best of yourself into the life of another person. you will never regret it. may God richly bless you and multiply your reward now and forever.
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for the idea, I made the trowel out of milk bottle for my recycling competition at school and I got a prize
I cant believe how much better these home made garden tools are than expensive ones from the store! You have definitely inspired me to try these out! Thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing!!!
My 9 year old daughter really can not wait to put these ideas into use in our own garden Thank You
Very cool! I seen my mom recycle jugs for years and I've never seen these ideas! Simply brilliant.
I'm glad you like them :)
Great idea! Another neat hack I use is I collect plastic spoons from our Texas ranch parties and I write on the spoon the contents of the pot.
That's great! They are also good to put the heads into soil to stop Squirrels, cats and other animals digging at your seedling :)
Hello from Australia. Just found your channel, love it. 67 year old learning to garden.
Glad you found me! Never too old to learn new great skills :)
Project Diaries I live in Melbourne Australia & have also just discovered your channel. I’m 67 too & a beginner at growing my own herbs & vegetables & I find it very relaxing. I’m not very successful yet but I’m going to keep trying. I enjoy watching your channel very much. Thank you. Cheers 😊
Susanne Alexander Have You Checked what type of soil You have, that should Help a lot. Get a Soil Testing Kit.
If I had land of my own, would get into growing herbs + vegetables. Am 65 In June.
You are a star 🌟 Please keep smiling and what you are doing for your granddad is 👏🏾 awesome:) god bless you xxx
As my mother says every time I tell her some ideas from your videos or other inspired people's videos, there should be a Nobel prize for such practical and ingenuous people. I totally agree. Thank you for sharing!
Your Mother is a wise Lady ;) You're welcome!
Agreed!
Sorry but Obama totally devalued the Nobel Prize .....
Firstly good lad for looking after your granddad, as a granddad that sounds as it should be. Thanks for the idea for making stuff from milk containers. And thanks for all your videos, very interesting, can't wait to get going.

Some really good ideas for people to use empty plastic milk bottles.
Great ideas. Love that it's practical and also helps the environment by reusing instead of disposing.
Me drinking tea all the time actually helped me 😊thanks!
Oh, these ideas are going to keep my grandsons happy for a good while, thanks!

She moved back to Southern California where we are from. But relocating soon to Texas. She attended Vet school at the University of Glasgow. She loved living there but missed the sun. Thanks again.
@@ProjectDiaries why not burn holes in bottle tops?
Ian Womack Think it Releases Toxic Fumes. Watch the video again! I'll probably do that Also.
These are pure genius! The trowel vs. soil scoop is very impressive.
Amazing, i will never be able to look at a bottle of milk the same again :D keep up the good work ;)
haha! Thanks :)
Nice
My 2 yr old s already into gardening looking at ur videos 😍
That's awesome :)

Great recycling ideas. I loved Blue Peter & Vision On for craft projects but my mother wouldn't let us keep any boxes, yoghurt pots or packaging etc for long enough to finish building anything, they all got thrown in the bin - we were such deprived kids lol.
haha! My Mum used to do that too :)
Joanne Carroll my husband also. We always fight n he throw everything in rubbish.
Oh my goodness! I'll be driving my family even more crazy now! I can't look at anything without thinking, "How can I reuse that atleast one more time? ". These are some great repurpose ideas. Thank you for the video!
I don't drink cow's milk, but my parents drink it, so I can reuse those milk jugs for gardening. Thank you for these tips & tricks.
You're welcome
Well you just taught an old man some new tricks. Great ideas to recycle. Thank you
I love your ideas! I was just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I get very dizzy but gardening is the top of the list over playing my mandolin, sewing and any other hobbies I have.

Fantastic ideas. I’m definitely going to use them. I love reusing items. I also love how you take care of your granddad.
great ideas, love your videos
Thank you! :)
Brilliant ideas. Better than just throwing them away. Thank you.
Thanks! You're welcome :)
Awesome! 😊 love this!!!
I was thinking about making a hanging herb garden out of them by cutting off the bottom, nailing them to a board by the handle, and poking holes in the cap as drainage.
Also, I use hand sanitizer to wipe my markings off of the labels. Wipes right off with a paper towel after a few wipes.
Have a Blessed day my friend! Thank you for this brilliant idea! 👍👍👍
Some great ideas there. Let me know how your Herb garden gets on :)
Just found this channel and your comment. Did you make the herb planter and if so, how did it work for you?
very intelligent use of bottles. creative and great videos. thumbs up.
Thank you! :)
Love, love, love. Now stand the bottle upright cut between the handle top and the lid, a quarter of the way strait down on each side, then to the front of the bottle. This is a scoop! I use this to water my pots in the front yard from the rain barrel. Only I use the gallon jugs. I use the the one solid w/holes in the lid to water seedlings and lettuce. Lettuce loves to cool off. Also if you take your jugs, cut off the bottom and bury the (without the lid) upside down- plant them and it conserves water directly to the plant. While still allowing roots out if need be.

Only getting into gardening and growing tomatoes an strawberrys an peppers an you make everything so simple and easy an i learn something from every1 of your videos thank you 👍
I've always been into recycle, reuse, your video is very apt with what's happening today with plastics , Hat off Brilliant!
So glad it's becoming so commercial now. I've been telling people for years and I'm glad it's finally getting through to the mainstream :)
What's blessing you are for your Grandfather! I'm glad I found you! I will be donating.
Thank you for your donation :)
Omg you saved me with the plant label tip, I was about to buy some on amazon for $6 lol
one of those things you think you will have too many of but actually you can never get enough
You are brilliant, I can't stop watching, better than telly,
You must drink a lot of milk.
Bravo, the recycling is mesmerising.
good ideas
Thanks!
A very informative video. Who would think that a plastic jug could have so many uses! I wish I saw this video earlier . Now I’m saving my plastic containers !
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring, I don't have a lot of money so I'll be using your ideas to do creative things with my three boys, thank you so much for sharing your ideas x
You're very welcome :)
I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered your videos. I needed this last year as I started my planting journey however the bit of knowledge I have from last year together with you videos will be the perfect pairing for this years plants 🪴 so many helpful tips. Thank you 🤩
Mate- you're a genius! I too used to watch Tony Hart and Blue Peter and it's great to see you sharing your ideas with others. Well done on a really informative series of vids. Happy gardening.

You're very welcome :)
thanks for the great ideas! i was going to buy a scoop today, but will make one instead.

I love your ideas. I really like the scoop you made out of the handle and how you also used it as a funnel. I love your channel
Thank you! :D
Also, I just joined your Facebook group!
Great!
I love these videos easy for beginners and not too scientific,love the use of household items
Such a win! love the big scoop. I've just started gardening because I have time now (lock down) and your videos are the most helpful. Really practical and cost effective. I want to plant everything now haha :) :)
Really clever! We don't have milk bottles here, but I have seen juice bottles. I will definitely try it out. Thanks for sharing this. Love from Denmark
You're welcome. Good luck :)
Great stuff. Nothing going to waste. Look forward to your videos
Thanks :)
I look after a lovely elderly man and he gets these cartons, they’ll be coming home with me now, I’m so excited to try these projects thank you
Great stuff.! Plant markers , why didn't I think of that, save a fortune :D Thanks
haha! Well know you can :)
I made four scoops one for planting, one for scooping rice and flour, and two poops scoopers, great for scooping cat litter and poop out of litter tray. Thank you. I use the funnel for filling dried beans and lentils, rice and couscous into storage jars and containers. So hand and sturdy Thank You very much.
Love you so much! Are you single? LOL!
JK.
I have been making things to use around the house and garden, barn and chicken sheds for years. I am Miss Frugal.
Been making the bottle waterers for years.
Thanks for the great videos. I am going to make a compost bin out of pallets and a garbage bag holder out of pallets too, just to keep the neighbors dogs from ripping my bags apart before the truck comes to pick them up!
Cheers!
As i do all of this work by myself and I am disabled, each project takes me a while to complete. My 91 yr old mom lives with me and keeping up the house and yard takes a lot out of me each day, but I like to keep busy. Your videos inspire me!
haha! Thank you! Yes I am :) Let me know how you get on via my Gardening group facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ/
My Grandad is 91 too. I wish he'd let me move in with him. It's would make my life much easier :)
Project Diaries Just take a suitcase over one Friday eve and never leave, haha.
Project Diaries When I bought this house I did so with my mom on mind. wanting to make it comfortable for her too. Now it is time to get her involved in planting the garden too. I try to keep her going in such ways.
Three years later and this video is still spot on and helping people. Two years ago you had 50k subs, now look!!! Great job!!
great ideas! I'm very happy I found your channel. Thank you for all the wonderful, inexpensive ideas.
I'm glad you found it to. You're welcome :)
April Perez
totally agree
Love the blackbird singing in the background . Nice easy going video.
Thanks
You're welcome :)
Fantastic! VERY inspiring. Thanks so much for your ingenious ideas.
You're welcome :)

No worries!
your channel is such a gem, thank you for all your work
☺☺☺
Great video Lee, lots of good tips for bottle use here :)
Thanks man! :)
I love all of these new tools. I have a milk jug out and I'm cutting my new scoop! thanks!
When making labels, all you need to do is put a piece of transparent tape over the writing & make a tight seal to prevent the marker from fading.
Nice idea :)
Just latched on to your videos while searching solutions to my blackspot problem which I found very informative and simple and which I will be following very soon Going with the milk bottle theme, I recently saw a video from an American lady who uses them as cold frames to grow seeds during their Winter. She cuts them in half, plants the seeds then tapes the two halves together again and as Monty Don said "if it can survive their winters then it should survive ours"
Absolutely brilliant ideas! I'll be making these for my garden tfs!!!
Forgot to say I love the premise of your channel. Reduce, reuse & recycle; the 3 R's. It doesn't occur to a lot of people that the plastic gardening paraphernalia that they spend time & good money to acquire from stockists is more than likely sitting around in their kitchens and or recycling bins. It's often made of the same type of plastic... which they've already paid for when they did their grocery shopping.
hehehe... you could send me a couple butternut seedlings! I have been developing frozen sorbet recipes using cooled cooked butternut squash! It is amazing to get a hidden veggie into my hubby and also I am weaning us off of ice cream and saving a bunch of green stuff! I am passing on your video GOOD JOB!
You can just dry the ones you get from food waste. It sounds very tasty! :)
itsno1duh look up vegan Ice cream recipes. lots of good ones out there
Useful video... Saved it to my garden plans collection... Thanks... Love to see young people involved in gardening..
