How can a gardener make good use of PET bottle necks?
When producing PET tape from plastic bottles, quite a lot of necks can accumulate. The tape from them is not cut, so they usually go in the trash. Individual necks are quite long, which allows them to be used effectively. Moreover, the longer the neckline, the better.
First of all, the neck can be used to create a storage container on the handle of the instrument. To do this, it is put on the handle and seated with a hairdryer. If you don’t have a hairdryer, you can do this by pouring boiling water over the shrinkage area. You can also get by with a lighter, gas torch or candle. However, this method will lead to darkening of the plastic from soot if you keep the flame in one place for a long time.
After shrinking, the remaining unpressed skirt from the neck is cut off with a knife.
If you make such a container on a hoe, you can store seeds in it.For example, when weeding fresh seedlings, you can always have seed on hand for sowing in places where plants have been destroyed by pests or have not appeared.
If you use a long enough neck, you can place a small knife or a piece of blade from a hacksaw into the container to periodically clean the hoe blade from adhering soil.
Also, a container made from the neck of a bottle will come in handy on a camping axe.
It is convenient to store a supply of matches and pills. Fishermen can fit the spout onto the end of the rod. The resulting container will be useful for storing spare hooks and fishing line. You can also put bait in it if you have to fish from an inconvenient ledge, for example, a tree trunk fallen on the water, where you won’t be able to take additional things.
Due to the high rigidity of such a container, it can also serve as a cutting extension. It can be used on excessively short handles of hammers and chisels. In addition, it is convenient to put nails in a container so as not to carry the entire box with you when you only need to nail a few pieces.
The scope of use of PET bottle necks is far from clear. There are a dozen more options where such a container will be useful. For example, you can put necks on the legs of a stool or other furnitureso that they do not scratch the flooring. You just need to adopt the method and use it where it will be useful.
What you will need:
- long bottle necks with caps;
- mounting hair dryer;
- knife.
