Just wondering how many others do things to save money or make life easier that others find odd.
I save milk,oil,detergent and a few other containers. Use them to hold used motor oil,trans fluid and anti-freeze makeing it easy to carry to recycle center. Fill with water,recap,poke a hole in bottom and set next to a plant needing slow watering. Fill with water and freeze for cooler ice. Distilled water jug full of tap water carried in vehicles and on machinery beats ditch water any day. Bright orange detergent jugs subsitute as athletics field markers,trotline floats,traffic cone and over width/lingth flag in a pinch. Will not store fuel or chemicals in anything other than origional or desinated containers.
Feed bag closed with zip tie is much tougher than trash bags and some are about as water resistant.
Now I need to find a market for all that used round bale twine. LOL
