In Random Recast, we find new uses for ordinary items. This week: Wine Bottles.
Garden edging usually falls into two categories: Flimsy or expensive. But this garden edging made from wine bottles is both sturdy and economical. Just dig a hole that's deep enough to cover the top third of the bottle. Then, insert a bottle neck-side-down into the hole. Next, anchor the bottle neck by compacting dirt into the hole. Repeat until your border is finished.
And just to put this out there: You don't have to drink gallons of wine to get enough bottles to use in this project. Instead, head over to a site like Freecycle, where people often give away their empties for those looking to craft. Or, make friends with your local restaurant, who can set aside the empty wine bottles from the night's service.
