Recycle Tights in the Garden

We've come up with a few ways for you to recycle those laddered tights in the garden. Let us know if you have any other ideas. Grow Bags- Simply fill the hosiery with compost and tie off. You can then cut holes where you want the plants to go, just like a normal grow bag. Down pipe filters- If you collect rain water in a butt you can stretch a stocking over the end off the pipe to filter out leaves. It’s then an easy job to remove the stocking with all the leaf debris inside. Soap in a Sock- This is a brilliant idea if you have an outside tap. Pop a bar of soap into the toe of an old sock or pair of tights and tie next to the outdoor tap. After a hard days gardening, you’ll be able to wash you hand with out getting earthy hand prints on your doors! Panty to line hanging baskets- Chop the legs off a pair off tights and the panty section can be used as a hanging basket liner. Storing bulbs or onions- This idea uses just the leg of a pair of tights. Pop an onion or bulb into the tight leg and tie a knot. Repeat until the leg is full. Your onion hanger can now be hung up. When you want an onion you can cut the bottom one free and leave the rest until needed. Plant ties- Strips of tights can be used to tie young plants to stakes. The stretchiness of the tights will stop the tie cutting into the plant as it grows. Although, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on tied up plants, especially the fast growers.
