If you love container gardening and you often forget to water your plants you will love these. You can make your own DIY 2L Bottle Sub-Irrigated Planters (SIPs), by re-purposing plastic soda bottles.
These can be used to grow both your houseplants as well as edible plants. Although 2L bottles are recommended you can use any size bottle really.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
