A second use for those four-litre plastic jugs of windshield-
wiper anti-freeze. Or 4-litre jugs of motor oil. Or those ...
Leave the screw cap in place. Cut the jug into two pieces along a 
straight line that runs diagonally across the biggest face. It's 
hard for me to describe. Imagine a flat sheet of razor-sharp 
steel, a plane, cutting right through the jug.

If the ascii character come out right, you'll be seeing a side-
view of the jug, with the handle and neck and cap to the top-
right of my diagram. The two slash-marks mark the plane of cut.
Oh well, with the left-hand end removed (makes a sheltering and 
shielding drip-tray for a pot-plant, BTW!) the right hand end 
serves:
1) as a scoop for scooping composted soil from the base of the 
   indoor vermicomposter and shovelling it back to the top to 
   cover food wastes and 
2) with the cap removed, as a handy-dandy means of streaming soil 
   away from the pebbles you once had in the base of each pot 
   plant before you decided to repot with fresh compost from your 
   indoor vermicomposter before placing the potted baby in a 
   sheltered drip-try. 
if you see what i mean.
