Holding Down Floating Veggies

Aside from getting a veggie clip has anyone got any other clever ideas for holding down a cucumber or any other veggie that will float to the surface... I used a kabob skewer that held it down well in my 8.8 but was wondering a good solution to feeding my rubberlip in my 55....Thanks

 

I use a weight and just let it sink to the bottom.

Ironically I use the veggie clip as the weight lol.


Edit: you can also pin it down with a magnet sponge.

 

I use a rubber band onto a rock, and it works fine. Hope you can figure it out.

 

I was thinking about getting 2 small but strong enough magnets to hold them down...but would it be safe for the inhabitants

 

If you blanche them they will sink by themselves. I do that with spinach for my snail.

 

I use bamboo skewers or a stainless steel fork.

 

id use a fork

 

fork

 

Yeah..boiling water helps with the sinking..works a treat for speeding up drift wood water logging process too.

 

I don't use forks, because I'm not sure they are safe.
Mine are 100% steel forks, and weigh a ton.

 

I seen the long marshmellow skewers a little while back that are nice n long so hopefully I can still find em....forget what store tho...thanks for the responses!!
