Hello All,
I found this website and thought some of you might find it interesting:-
www.instructables.com
Most of the things on it seem to be made using "junk" and they have good, clear instructions with lots of photos. The green section is particularly interesting - now I know what to do with all those plastic bottles!!
Waiting to welcome Sunny Clucker to Northern Ireland!

Nice site. Guess who'll be making themselves a pop-bottle herb garden this weekend!
That greenhouse is really cool, I want one! But I'd have to drink a heck of a lot of Pepsi...
Chick chick chick chick chicken, lay a little egg for me.

I reckon I could have enough bottles for the herb garden in a fortnight or so - my OH drinks a couple of litres of diet coke a day!!
My problem is where to store the materials until I have enough to start making something.
