"very a simple"

This site needs a spelling/grammer checking feature.

"or maybe it's just me"

Interesting

I thought this was a garden site. I didn't know I had to watch out for the self appointed gammer/grammar police.

It's OK. Monte turned his own self in to the grammar cops--he wasn't ratted out by a fellow winter sower :)

What the site really needs is a way to edit our own posts so we can catch our typos instead of having to post corrections separately.

I am (is?) my own wurst critic.

what a great and simple idea! I hate using duct tape - costly and difficult to deal with

thank you Monte -

I don't care about spelling or grammer on the web - we tend to try and get our thoughts out quickly so me make mistakes -

Neat idea. I am too lazy though and I just cut my jugs then cram the top into the bottom. :)
I like the idea of stapling the blind to make a "hinge".

No worries on spelling or grammar... I mess up all the time. You can download the google toolbar and it has a spellcheck feature.

I agree this site needs a way to edit our posts, but I'm glad we all come anyway.

"I like the idea of stapling the blind to make a "hinge"

Now, now class, pay attention.

The "hinge" is under the handle.

The mini blind bit is the "dual layer,steel-vinyl composite alignment clip and structural support device with beveled edges"

Let's get it right now.

There's no telling what will happen if we don't follow the specific engineering protocals to the letter.

Whew..close call.

Monte the Ever Vigilant

I've always sealed the containers with clear packing tape, but I admit there's no way to open and shut the containers. I've just never had to re-seal once the container has been opened. I like the clear tape so I can watch the babies grow.

I like this idea, especially because I don't like those flakes that peel off the back of cellophane tape (and on to the sprouts!)when I peel them open after the winter.
I'm going to try a variation of this clip on my milk containers that I cut with the "inverted J" method... I think one or two of these clips on the longer cut would do the trick and leave just enough of a slit for air movement.
Monte, thanks for posting!

See, not that hard to read typos! It would be a rather boring world if we were all perfect.

For me, clear packing tape is the easiest. I find it almost impossible to remove duct tape and scotch tape isn't strong enough. This new method might be fine for some, but seems a little too complicated when a couple of small pieces of tape works fine.

But then, I don't open and close my milk jugs. Once the plants are up and growing, I just take the tops off. I have never needed to do any watering for most of them other than right when planted.

I leave a couple of inches uncut on one side(opposite from the handle)of the jug and use that for a 'hinge' by bending it back. Then I poke two small holes on the upper edge of the bottom half of the jug below the handle and run a piece of wire in and then out and twist to secure one end. I bend the other end of the wire to make a hook, and 'hook' that over the handle. Easy to open and re-close.

Whoa!! Light bulb moment.

Hinge on the other side?

Brilliant idea.

I'm off to the jug pile.

geez, sewobsessed... I was able to read that entire sentence without even thinking about it! Weird..
