To help hold plastic jugs in place and avoid broken plants from winds
tearing the cover off, don't cut the bottom the whole way off. Cut
3/4ths around and make a flap of the remaining side that lays flat on
the ground when in place, set a brick or large rock on the flap. If it
has a cap take it off so the plant can breath.
