Do you like saving and recycling? Then you're in the right place. In a few minutes, according to our instructions, you will make the perfect self-irrigating pot. It will not only serve for pre-growing seedlings, but you can grow strawberries or herbs in it on a sunny window or balcony.
You need – PET bottle (preferably straight), packaged wick (but just a string or shoelace), scissors, marker, substrate
Ho
1. Cut the empty PET bottle in half. Attention, the bottle must be of a flat shape so that the parts fit together. When you have shaped, you can make a flower pot smaller and cut out the tapered parts.Align the cut edges.
2.Make a hole in the cap with the tip of the scissors. Then, through the hole in the cap, pass the wick or lace. A more sophisticated way is to make holes more. The wick can then be stretched through two to suck in two ends, and the rest are for air.
3. Screw the cap on the neck and insert into the bottom section. Make sure the wick touches the bottom.
4. Place the substrate in the neck section. Never put soil out of the garden. There may be weeds in it. For herbs is suitable substrate for balcony balconies, for pre-growing seedlings then substrate for sowing.
5. Put water in the bottom, put the part with the throat and you're done. Those who want can improve the pot by painting or with a nice wrapper. Do not forget to refill the water level from time to time.
