Lee Anne, what an amazing and useful idea. That would work perfectly in my tiny sun room. That would mean I could have more plants in the house over the winter. Hurray!
Thank you for such a great tip. Group hug

I agree Such a wonderful idea. I love it when people find unusual ways to recycle. I think the term now is "repurpose."
