Why not just use a fork?

Why not just use a fork?

unsure about heavy metals?

I got a plastic one on ebay. Got fed up weighing down my cucumber lol

Fair enough, I've never had any issues.

You can buy something called a screwcumber.

But I would save my money and just use a fork.

Yeah saw that but didn't like the look of it. My cucumber kept floating off whenever I weighed it down so the clip comes in handy

so is a fork ok?

I have never had any issues, and I have left them in until all the courgette has gone, which is usually a couple of days. Then just remove the fork and any bits of skin that may be left.

People also use the lead weights that come with bunched plants. You will need a couple though.

As long as they're stainless steel, which most modern cutlery is (check on the underside for a stamp) it'll be perfectly safe. I use a teaspoon myself.

 

[minnnt]

Yep, i use a teaspoon if adding smaller peices and the fork if adding half a courgette etc. lol. Does male for some interesting faces when you have visitors.

 

[catfish4ever]

[minnnt]
