First I saw it was in Pam's post about Lucinda Hutson's garden. They do make good mulch. I sometimes find them out in the yard.

Just green and brown bottles, as I wanted it to seem at home in the woods. Mulching with corks - great idea. My mother-in-law has lined all of the beds in her herb/vegetable garden with bottles and it's beautiful. However, she lives on sandy soil, where it's easier to dig a wine-bottle depth hole.CWPickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116112697302206255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-18518683173976242642012-01-21T13:59:26.490-06:002012-01-21T13:59:26.490-06:00I'm currently saving blue bottles for my futur...I'm currently saving blue bottles for my future bottle tree, then I'll always have something in bloom too :)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430849998788960134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-90999129232506993122012-01-20T10:07:27.325-06:002012-01-20T10:07:27.325-06:00Mulching that pretty bottle tree with corks is cle...Mulching that pretty bottle tree with corks is clever. I like the wine bottles as edging but I'd have to cut all but the bottom 2" off to get them in the ground here.<br /><br />I love using bottles of all types in the garden. I do have a bottle tree, but also use pretty bottles singly on stakes. I use corks to mulch the bay tree in a container on the deck.Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-27763620504714021662012-01-20T09:12:46.047-06:002012-01-20T09:12:46.047-06:00Ha ha!

Not sure I'll do a bottle tree, though a huge one to catch all the evil spirits in the center of Abq may be in order!Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.com
