Recycle Tights in the Garden

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.

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.

Down Pipe Fillers

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.
