SELF WATERING PLANTER
THIS IS MY FIRST INSTRUCTABLE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.
YOU CAN MAKE A RECYCLED SELF WATERING ORGANIC PLANTER FROM ANY PLASTIC DRINK BOTTLE BUT I CHOSE TO USE A 2 LITRE BOTTLE BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT A FAIRLY DECENT SIZED PLANT IN IT WITHOUT IT TIPPING OVER.
1) TAKE A 2 LITRE BOTTLE AND RINSE IT OUT THOROUGHLY WITH HOT WATER AND VINEGAR.
2) REMOVE THE CAP AND DRILL A SMALL 1/8" HOLE IN THE CENTER.
3) CUT A 12" LONG PIECE OF COTTON STRING.
4) TIE A KNOT 3" FROM THE CUT ENDS TO MAKE A ' Y ' SHAPE.
5) FEED THE STRING THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CAP TILL YOU HIT THE KNOT.
