Uses for Milk Jugs

Cleaned out milk jugs are so handy around the house. Of course I take them to the store to fill for drinking water. I mix up plant fertilizer in them to feed the plants. So easy to grab and pour. I mix up hummingbird food and store in the frig. I mix up powdered milk for the kitty that comes to eat. I put pebbles in and use as a door stop. We freeze water in ahead of time to use in the cooler instead of buying ice. It's so handy to have it stored in the frig. Be sure not to fill completely full. Leave room for expansion. I cut a heavier jug up at the handle area and use as a scoop for my bird feeders in the windertime. Put nuts and bolts in for a baby to kick around to make noise. They love that. You can also cut the bottom out and remove the lid and put around young plants in the early spring to protect from the cold. You can cut the top larger but keep the handle and use to carry smaller items in to the garage. Another good use is to cut the top open more and use to collect seeds from flowers. Be sure to always mark the outside with a permanet marker so you know what's inside. And do not use it for anything else. You don't want to mix plant food with hummingbird food.
