Large Green Bottles In Garden

[Barmaid]

I have just moved house. In my garden there are two enormous green bottles. Both sit inside a plastic bin and have a plastic sleeve on the top so most of the bottle is not visible. Both had a stopper in the top. I cant see what (if anything) is inside them.

Does anyone have the foggiest idea what these things are for and what (if anything) I should do with them.

TIA

liquid compost /fertiliser ?

[Barmaid]

Its a possibility, Minty. Although there is no way of getting the stuff out and these things are enormous - I'd never lift one to tip it up.

Not sure I would put anything I want to drink in them. They are full of scummy stuff. (Just managed to take the stopper out, which is not in fact a stopper but a small plastic plant pot). There is a reason this house has been renamed Bodgit Cottage..........

sell?

[Barmaid]

No, cant, Minty. I'm only renting atm.

[murraymints]

pity..looks like they fetch a good price !

[ummmm]

Clean out.
Fill with wine.
Invite friends to a party.
Sorted..
I'll bring the potato salad :-)

Weren't they all the rage in the 80s for making bottle gardens with - I know I hankered after some

Once cleaned and out of their plastic bucket they look great with fairy lights in.

Put them on a wall...
Sing the song!

Is there any remnants of another say 8 green bottles on the floor?
