    You mean you can't put engine parts in a dishwasher with Tupperware?

    Who knew?.....

    Reminds me of the time about 15 yrs ago when that I called the supplier of the filters for our hot tub and asked if I could put them in the dishwasher to clean them. They were appalled at the idea and told me so. About a year later the company was heavily advertising and selling their new easy-to-clean "dishwasher safe" filters. Should've patented the idea.

    How about the time my wife was out of town so I decided to clean my sooty steam pans in the self cleaning oven. The result was a brown smelly smoke coming out the vent. No way to stop the process at that point, so I hooked a long sump pump hose to the shop vac an sucked the foul stuff outside.

    Nice.

    Besides, Tupperware is inexpensive compared to the cost of engine parts!

    Hi everyone, I think, it would be very dangerous to use it. Very high probability it would taint the whole crop. Plastic is porous, so there will always be a little fertilizer residue in there somewhere. This is my point of view.
