- Many households go through at least a gallon of milk a week. But why throw all those jugs away when you can repurpose them? Honestly, milk jugs aren't always the most aesthetically pleasing. But, they make perfect gardening tools and accessories.
The plastic used for these jugs is thick and sturdy, so you can use them for a variety of purposes -- from shovels to pots. Plus, they are easy enough to paint and spruce up. Here are few of the many things you can do with empty milk jugs.

I cut round hole on the side. Put my huskie's fur inside and hang it on the tree. Birds love to warm up their nests with dog's fur.
That is very clever so smart
lol
I put the fluff out of my dryer out for them.

My goodness! So many practical tips to reuse my plastic milk jugs. I am actually growing seedlings right now. Never thought to use them as green houses. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the Bird feeder and the shovels!! 👍💖👍💖
Love the water jug , and bird feeder, hanging pots, mini greenhouse,labels, ✔👍👌✌
Start seedlings, cuttings, in egg cartons, transfer to, milk jugs, then garden, beauty from the beast
I use them to start a indoor garden with onions, green onions, tomatoes and celery can't wait !!
Why don't you winter sow instead? Put them outside in the milk jugs and leave them with the lids off. Saves all the faffing of hardening them off.
I have been wanting to make one of them for a very long time and just didn't know how thank you thank you thank you
Great money saving ideas! Ingenious!
Great ideas. THanks
When using it for a watering can, poke your holes through from the inside of the lid. Otherwise the water sort of gets plugged up by the raised plastic when you poke from the top side.
I poke mine from outside and it doesn't do that to me. I've always use bottles/jugs with holes in lids for watering.
@@CourtneyBerry could depend on what you are using to poke the holes with.
Still better to go through from the inside. Then a little bits of plastic that you are pushing through will face the downward position when you are using jug as a watering can
This was what I thought when I saw the watering jug idea, too.
And do you need to poke a hole in the side to prevent a vacuum forming? Similar to the two openings in a gas can..
@@axlent123 I think that's a good idea. That's what happens when I'm using the milk jug for my Alaska fish oil fertilizer. Love your TH-cam name 😀😂😂😂
Once a vining plant entirely covers the jug, the jug itself becomes invisible, and for some, a row of those will help create a visual screen from the nosy-pants next door neighbors...
Not sure how I'd store all these until I made use of them LOL very good ideas so love it. Thank you.🥰
I use either a bungie type cord or just some rope or sturdy twine and after you clean them out and drain them, just string them together thru the handles and hang them either in a shed or I just hang them in my pantry room...good luck
Practical and very useful. Thank you!
I have another use for used milk jugs. When I lived in Central Texas it was hard to get new trees and shrubs to start when we were in a drought. I took a milk jug and drilled a small hole, the smallest drill bit my index had, into the bottom corner opposite the handle. I then drilled the same sized hole into the lid and filled it with water. The water dripped out slowly, and sped up a little as the sun warmed the jug. It took over an hour for the water to drain out, which is perfect if you place the jug right up against the tree trunk or plant. When there is a water restriction you can only water once or twice per week, but putting out water jugs or bags is fine. I was able to keep all of my plants alive through the summer with milk jugs, and my poor neighbors lost most of their plants and all of the young trees (it was a new neighborhood). A few saw what I was doing, asked about it and saved some of their plants. One gallon in the morning and one in the evening will keep even trees alive. More if they are large. Droughts are rough, I saw oak trees that were over 100 years old die that first year. So sad.
If you are worried about how it looks, you can cover it with a burlap bag/sack. In fact it will water right through the sack if you place the jug inside it. Putting burlap around the base of a new tree or other plant is a good idea in drought prone regions. The burlap shades the top of the root ball area and holds onto moisture.
Ezra T, have you thought about having your own TH-cam channel? That was a great idea and gave you a like.
Alvaro Quesada, Thank you for the like. I have thought about starting a TH-cam channel now and then. I may buy myself a decent camera for Christmas and give it a try! Thanks :)

You have shown very good and useful life hacks. Great channel. I’m a subscriber
very clever
This was way more helpful than I though.
I am already using milk bottles, water bottles for my seedlings.
❤thanks 😊
Because planting food in plastic and setting it inbtge sun is always a good idea!
Yeah...I question this heavily...lol
HDPE is uv safe and is easily recycled.
Thanks
All r good ideas specially bird feeder. ❤️🙏🙏
Creative
That was a good idea
May be simple but it brings down the neighborhood a notch or two. All they need is the old car tires for planters in the front yard.
Anna T...who wants old tires in their front yard...this is the 21 century not the 19th.old tires will most definitely bring the neighborhood down by three notches.
For people who live in freezing winter climates...the milk jug plastic turns brittle after 1 outdoor season's exposure to the elements...the winter hastens it...summer seems to be just fine for the jug's plastic...
It's settled then; I'm moveing to a warmer climate just so I can use this idea😁
The sun will wreck them too. They are not made to last but you can still use them.
This was actually great
Dear friend Great information
🤗👍👏 Super idea....
love the bird feeders
The video was great, but at its end, the Promotional Music came on that was 10 times louder than the voice in the video. Nearly deafened me! Speak with your audio engineer about the balance of volume, please.
I Like the Bird Feeder idea a Lot. Looks so Cute🐦😍. Wish I had a yard or open space to do this.
You can draw birds to a small patio or even a window seal out side just hang at the top of the outside of the window and there you go a close up view
Nice
I have a one gallon water container, I use it to put water in my aquarium during water changes .
Seen a few good idea's in this video.
Can a normal tomato plant hang upside down? Tried the one trick you guys showed off for them and the slices, now I have a bunch of seedlings and no space. Lol
I grew tomatoes upside down before and they can grow fine that way
Cool!
These are great ideas! Thank you! But I have like 10 jugs extra. What’s the best way to recycle these?
