Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

It’s glass, it’s food safe.

I use wide mouthed mason jars for Kratky hydroponics. This design (not my design) makes them into nice, decorative pots.
Just wanted to say this comment got me interested in a Kratky setup, should have the rest of the equipment later today. Thanks for sharing!
Gonna start off with some leafy greens and see how it goes.
I use old mason jars to store my whole bean coffee in the freezer until I’m ready to grind and use it.
A coffee aficionado can probably chime in on why this is bad, but uts the best use I’ve found for the jars.
AFAIK the best thing you can do to improve your coffee-freezing process is to prevent moisture from getting into the beans when you thaw. If you let it, moisture from the air will condense on the cold beans. So keep the beans in a closed, airtight container until they come to room temperature. (Airtight because water vapor is air.) So yeah, jars are good for this. Or sealed freezer bags should work too.
Good to know! Thanks! I vacuum seal what I can’t get in jars and let it all thaw freezer > fridge > ground.
Why, uh. Why was that your first thought.
Make one of those sealed jar terrarium ecosystems.
I know you were probably joking, but as a PSA I will add that you NEVER dip any ‘bits’ or any body part in plaster in a closed, rigid container! 😬 A mold should be made with alginate, silicone, or other resilient material. The plaster is what would be poured into the mold afterwards, to make a casting. thanks.
