Plastic containers are occasionally unavoidable to purchase. Lets make them into a self watering growing container!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Turn a plastic bottle or jug into a self watering planter
- Includes a wick or way for
water to get to the plant
- Includes a way to see if it's out of water
Provide proof of the following as pictures or
video (<2 min):
- Bottle or jug you're starting with
- Midway through making it showing how the water will wick
- Finished self watering container with a plant growing in it
