Default what do you do with onion bags?
I have several of those mesh onion bags. The are made of plastic. I tried to recycle them as a scratcher, but they are not quite scratchy enough. Any ideas???

I use them for drying my herbs, as a scrubby for teflon pots & pans,to hang a bar of soap by the tap when we go camping.

They are great for use hanging wet bath tub toys from the shower head to dry.

You can also place the bags at the bottom of pots when planting plants. They help to hold the soil together, and keep the soil from draining out of the holes in the bottom of the pot.

Good ideas! Thanks. I had not thought of most of these. I just hate throwing away things I think can live another life yet.
