Oh, I don't buy corks or Blue Waltz. i just think it's neat that they carry both. I saved wine corks for quite a while and used them to cover the soil in some big pots on my patio. They looked great until the squirrels discovered them. the DH started hitting them with the lawn mower.

I can only tell you they make an awful "sprong" noise when the lawnmower propels them against the back windows. Cork collecting is now banned, but I can still drink wine. Whistling

Sounded like a good idea to start Bubbles!!! My neighbor frustrates her husband by putting thin black plactic netting over everthing.....gets caught in his lawn mower all the time. Know how I know? I once volunteered to ride over with my lawn areating device ... hummm... we spent the rest of the afternoon cutting mesh off the rods and tongs!

Big bowl o' corks. Big Grin (That's not the Chef's Special. Still, it might catch on if seasoned just the right way.) Shrug!

Like your cork container. I have one like that for fruit, that we can't eat up before the fruit flies find it! Might be a better cork house. I love the pig chef. I'd write "reservations" on the menu board!
