Step 1: Materials -   Self-watering planter made from recycled bottles…clever clever.

The way that I am making these uses 2 or 3 liter soda bottles and it supplies the soil with just the right amount of moisture for the plants to grow. It’s a little different than bbullet’s way, but it’s still made with recycled bottles and produces fantastic results all for the cost of a pinch of seeds!
