Clever use for Observer plastic bags--Greenhouse!


We get suggestions all the time for clever uses for the plastic bags that (hopefully) keep your paper dry. Here's a new one from Ann Barringer, of Albemarle:
When trying to revive a dying plant, I found that the Observer plastic bags make a great mini-greenhouse.  The large Sunday ones work great for small plants.  Put the plant, pot and all, into the bag, then tie the top closed.  Instant greenhouse!  The top can be opened to water as needed and the clear plastic allows sunlight in.  It should also  work when trying to root cuttings.
