Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • 2L soda bottles
  • scissors or utility knife
  • potting mix
  • organic fertilizer
  • strip of fabric
  • seeds or plants

Before you can re-use the plastic bottles make sure you remove the labels and clean them out. Be careful when you cutting the plastic, I almost cut myself trying to puncture the drainage holes.

These planters provide the perfect environment to help your plants grow. The secret is the reservoir on the bottom that keeps a constant supply of water and oxygen, readily available.
