    That is a wonderful idea. I lucked out last fall and got a big package for 70% off. Thank you so much for sharing. Will you be doing a video on the cotton candy machine?

    I usually clear out the stores at the end of season clearance, but I'll be doing my own from now on. Thanks for the tips..

    Fantastic Idea Tina. I’ve used popsicle sticks and the regular plastic markets you get a Walmart that I always seem to break every year or run out of them when I need them the most, but never ever thought of this. I guarantee I won’t run out anymore thanks to your awesome little idea here. I’m going out in the garbage right now and get a milk jug out of the recycle bag and cut me some labels.I will be ready this spring and summer and will not have to buy them again. THANK you so much Tina. I love when I can save money on something like this and use my money for plants and flowers. Come on SPRINGTIME. 👍🌺💐🌻🌷🌹

    A good way to reuse an item you’d normally throw away.. I reuse my milk jugs to take water to my animals that don’t have a close water source..

    I also save jugs for lots of things I figure it keeps them out of the dumpster and saves me money more ways than one. When using them for garden markers after putting the name of the plant on them I put clear polish on them.

    You have a pretty good idea. Things are really busy here with family in for the funeral and all, I hope that I don't miss any of your videos. Yall take care.

    Fantastic idea. We also have a hard time throwing out things that we can recycle. I hate to waste anything. All the spoons and forks we have for marking our plants was from picnics and cookouts we’ve attended. I just placed a plastic only bin by the trash can. It worked and now I have enough to last because we use them over and over every year. Same with the solo cups. Great way to help save the land. Have a great weekend my friends. ❤️🌺😁 Cheryl

    Plastic jugs can be used for so many things. I love your videos, keep them coming.

    Good deal Tina! My great grandparents raised my grandpa and uncle during the depression. Any thing they bought they made sure it had another purpose. You can also use the handles/tops for digging or dipping and pouring compost tea😀

    Hi Tina! Hope all is well on the home front! Such a great MONEY saving idea to make the tags out of plastic bottles! I save bottles for extra water when rain is slack to none. Gives plants a good drink when needed. I have also placed a plastic jug spout down with bottom cut partially off and fill with water for a slow soak to water plants closer to root. A piece of old garden hose added to the spout puts water even closer to the plants roots! GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL OF YOU AND GIVE YOU STRENGTH AS YOUR TEACHINGS AND KNOWLEDGE IS A WONDERFUL BLESSING TO ALL!!!
