Made a few new fertilizer sachets out of old window screening today. It's very easy and seems to work great. You could make them any size, but too much bigger than this, I'd roll the screening over one more time after you put the fert in, before you staple it shut. These have about a teaspoon (or less) in them.

I used some stainless steel seizing wire for a hanger because it's thin and doesn't show very much. I like to make a fairly long hanger for the sachet so that it waves around a bit and doesn't drop fert in the same place all the time.

Now that I looked at that last picture, I think I'll hang it from the middle so that it hangs horzontal, again to spread the wealth around better.
