This idea came to me via my mother who received it from a coworker I believe.
Materials:
- 2 liter pop bottle
- a pin
- a large planting pot
- soil
- plants
- an eager 20 month old who loves dirt (optional)
Step 1:
Poke holes around the bottom of the bottle. I fount that 1 hole per plastic bump works best.
Step 2:
Fill the pot 1/2 to 2/3 full of soil and place the bottle in the center.
Step 3:
Fill the pot with soil around the bottle so just the spout sticks up.
Step 4:
Pull your toddler out of the dirt for the 100th time. (This step may be skipped if you don't have a toddler).
Step 5:
Plant your plants.
Step 6:
Fill your pop bottle watering system (with water). In my climate I only have to fill it every other day.
*Note: a garden hose would be my reccomended filling method, but fr this picture the watering can was handy. Also if you can save the bottle cap and replace it after filling. This helps the water drip more slowly.
