Self-watering planter made from recycled bottles…clever clever.
Page 1 of 13
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!
Step 1: Materials
You will need to gather these materials:
- One 2 or 3 liter soda bottle with the cap
- A piece of newspaper, a piece of plastic from a bag or a piece of aluminum foil
- Cotton string
- scissors or knife to cut the bottle
- a drill (or something similar) for making holes in the cap
- tape (optional)
*paper or some other decorative cover to keep the light out
