I thought about burying the beer bottles a little underground and then putting a large mason jar over that.
Would it be feasible to just stick the beer bottles underground without something else over the bottle? Wouldn't the buried bottle still store water which will evaporate and improve the microclimate around where it's buried? If nothing is placed over the bottle to recollect the evaporation... perhaps the bottles
should just be planted deeper to give the water vapor more room, i.e. underneath the plant
roots. I wonder if placing a stick into the bottle and burying them together (bottle with stick poking out) would help channel water into the bottle along with channeling it's evaporation.
