They can be used to self water garden plants. Poke holes around the sides wiith an ice pick so they are small, bury it in the garden or pot, plant around and fill with water.

They make good funnels. You just cut off the bottom portion and leave enough to pour whatever in and the mouth if the jug is what you put in the receptacle you are filling.

I recently saw some that had been spray painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, tops sliced off or handles left on and then filled with water for weight (or sand). Set outside at night (after being 'charged' by being exposed to light bulbs) and you have instant luminaries or faux solar lights to illuminate a walkway or patio. They were terrific looking.

I fill with potting soil and plant starter seeds for my garden. Cut just above the half way point of the jug but not all the way around, making the top half a "lid". Punch a few holes in the bottom for drainage. The "top" won't close completely over the top which is good so to allow air flow and droplets of morning dew until you can properly water.

paint orange and cut out a spot so that you can put sand inside, cut a face out or just paint a face on it and call it a halloween pumpkin

my husband would clean them out /make sure the lid was on them /and cut the bottom off for covering early tomato /pepper / and garden plants .It makes a nice cover for spring / remove lid for warm weather /replace lid at night when it gets cold/remove when weather gets warm.
