How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[SAB]

Just wondering if it would be okay to use old soup/bean cans to grow herbs in - not sure if there are any "nasties" in the cans that would be problematic. Anyone know?

[Saronne]

Recycling cans is a really good idea. I've seen them used for herb and veg growing on the continent. Never heard of lurking nasties, etc. Just make sure you punch a few holes in the bottom for drainage.

Thanks - I thought that it would be fine, then my OH said "are you sure it's safe" and that left me puzzled (though he knows nothing of gardening!). Anyway, I think there will be a few Heinz tomato soup and baked beans cans added to my kitchen window soon!

If they are the huge cans, they ca look very very attractive with plants growing in them.

 

My friend had red geraniums growing in cans on her patio last summer, they looked lovely.

 

Just was then thoroughly and stab them a few times as has been said.

I've still got all the cans I used for my diddy Christmas cakes, I can recycle them again

What a lovely idea! I think I'm going to use Eglutines idea of Geraniums in them & also make two holes to thread some wire through, so I can hang them off some tree branches - out of the way of hungry chickens!

Apparently you can also paint them with emulsion paint so can have colour coordinated ones as well as the silver.

I had a can herb garden last year

mine were larger cans from Nias nutriprem milk though

Oh I LOVE that - right, cans are going through the dishwasher & being saved from now on

[craftyhunnypie]

Ooo perhaps when my sister has her baby, I can scrounge the milk cans off her.

That looks great Bronze!!!

what a great idea. Wonder if old big roses/quality street tins will work!

you'll have to make sure she gets the right type some milk comes in carton type boxes

That is a great idea. I shall be saving my cans and dips pots from now on.

 

Bronze - I just noticed your signature and did a double take. I thought it said you had 20 something husbands and not hubbards! I think I need a coffee to wake me up properly . . . .

I need to change that anyway.

I have two I kept the rest have gone

That would be even funnier if it had said "husbands"
