When you buy fresh berries from
the supermarket or farmers market, they’re often packed in small, plastic
baskets. And once the berries are gobbled up, your first reaction might be to
toss the empty containers in the trash or recycling bin. Well hold on to those
berry baskets because there’s plenty of ways to use ‘em around the house and garden. Here's a few for starters:
· Organize
pouches of pet food. Small pouches of cat and dog food or treats can easily
fit neatly inside a berry basket.
· Screwdriver
or paintbrush organizer. Just place the basket upside down on your tool
bench, push the tool handles through the grid, and you’re good to go.
· Dishwasher
basket. Perfect for containing those little things that tend to slide around,
such as small lids.
· Bubble
blower. Kids love this. Mix up a large bucket of liquid dish soap and
water, then dip the basket in. Wave it around in the air—it makes an amazing
amount of bubbles!
· Easter
basket. Decorate with ribbons or other crafty items. Add a handle, too,
then fill with treats.
· Bulb
protector. Keep rodents away by planting bulbs inside mesh berry baskets
that have been set into the ground.
· Seedling
protector. Place baskets upside down over new growth to keep wascally
wabbits from dining on your tender sprouts.
