Clever uses for empty plastic bottlesCut bottle in half, poke some holes in the bottom of the bottom half and you have a good flower pot substitute. When potting on you may need to cut down the side to get the root plug out but hey it was free anyway.ViewDate:

Clever uses for empty plastic bottlesTake the top off and cut the bottom off. Invert and partially Bury in soil near to a plant. When watering fill the bottle with water. This ensures water gets to the roots and doesn't run off or evaporate. Especially handy for tomatoes and courgettes as you can top up throughout the day without wetting the leaves.ViewDate:

Is a second national lockdown for vulnerable over 50s the right way forward?Surely a Nationwide lockdown of 3 or 4 weeks, if strictly adhered to, would stop the virus in its tracks. I've been shielding since the 16th March and only recently started venturing out. I have not seen my daughters in that time, they are both abroad and I see no prospect of being able to see them for the foreseeable future. The population wants to wake up to how selfish some sections are and bite the bullet, adhere to the guidelines and we can beat it. When an old person, who has been shielding, catches it, it is because a visitor, who may be a relative has given it to them.ViewDate:

Should the Government launch a food-rationing scheme?I do think rationing would solve the stockpiling problems but I don't think a fair and well thought out scheme could be implemented soon enough.
