I wish to report that I've discovered a 100 percent excellent way to recycle the San Pellegrino bottles, and I'm so pleased by this that I must take to Twitter *immediately* to tell the world.

We begin with this humble felt gardening bag.

I've had five of them lying around since forever. I felt guilty about that, too. They weren't expensive, but I feel guilty about anything I buy and don't use. The problem: They're too big for seedlings. Filling them with soil is costly.

Behold the empty San Pellegrino bottle:

(I've cut holes in it. You have to look closely. I didn't do a very attractive job, but they're about to be covered in soil.)

Now look:

See how genius that is? It not only takes up space in the grow bag, it will allow me to water the plants from the roots. And because the water seeps out slowly--I hope, anyway--it means I won't have to water as often.

In go the petunias, and ...

le voilà:

I'm so happy about this. I've got another four grow bags to go, which means I *must* drink more San Pellegrino to be as thrifty as I ought to be.

I will report on the petunias' progress. I think they're going to like it chez Claire.

I hope so, because I love them very much.
