Our Scrumpy is packaged in PET bottles.  We have done that on purpose as, whilst Scrumpy is a still cider when bottled, it's young and it can go on fermenting in the bottle.

PET provides us with a sound packaging choice for something that could build up pressure in the bottle.

We'd really appreciate it if you could responsibly reuse or recycle all your PET bottles.  Some suggestions for reuse are:

Cloches for your Seedlings

If you cut the bottom off your PET bottles and take the lid off, they can be fitted over delicate seedlings.  This will add some extra warmth to the growing area and keeps the dreaded snails and slugs at bay at the same time.

Funnels

Cutting the bottom off a PET bottle can turn it into a super handy funnel for use in all sorts of applications.

Timber Protector / Soften up those Hard Edges

The tops of fence posts and garden stakes can be covered with round bottle sections, protecting the timber from the weather or stopping you for accidentally causing yourself an injury when bending over the garden.

Home Brewed Beer Bottles

Home brew can be stored in these bottles very effectively.

Ice Pack

Freeze water in them to put in the picnic cooler or wherever, as the ice melts it does not make a mess everywhere. 

Flying insect traps

Trap 1 is a bottle with the top 1/3 cut off, trimed so it makes 3 legs (holes for the flies to access the bait which is put under this affair) and inserted into the other 2/3. After the flies feed they always leave by taking off and flying upwards, thru the funnel and into the main chamber. They are too stupid to try to get out the hole, always trying to fly up. Yes, it really works.

Trap 2 has short pieces of tube inserted in the sides, pointing down. The bait is put in the bottom, the flies enter thru the tubes, and again are too dumb to get out that way.

Slow Release Watering System

We normally just cut the bottom off a PET bottle, pierce a hole in the cap and then insert the bottle into the mulch or soil around a plant.  Fill the bottle as required and let the water drip slowly into the soil.  You can also buy special "spikes" that go into the ground beside the plant and the bottle (with just a hole pierced in the bottom) is screwed into the spike.

Candle Holder

Particularly useful for outdoor events or for keeping the breeze from blowing out your outdoor candles, cut the bottom off the bottle, invert and insert the candle in the neck of the bottle.

And finally - recycle in your local recycling collection.
