Milk Jug Scoop

This handy scoop, fashioned from a half-gallon plastic milk jug, is perfect for lightweight materials like fertilizer and potting soil. And its flexible spout eases the task of laying down materials in a small pot. To fashion the scoop, make horizontal cuts on the sides adjacent to the handle, and diagonal cuts on the other two sides.
