Soda bottle/water gallon:
Every household consumes soda and water so also have those plastic bottles which are usually disposed of, but from now you can use them to make a green house. Method of conversion is same for the bottle and gallon, the only difference is of their thickness. So let’s start with a gallon;
- Take a gallon and cut its bottom part from almost 2-3 inches from bottom.
- Use this bottom portion as the seeding pot and fill it with soil and compost, plant the seeds and water it.
- Take the upper portion of the gallon and remove the top cover. On its bottom sides cut one inch length slits starting from its bottom to upside (so that it perfectly fix the soil portion).
- Now fix the both parts of gallon and place them at some sunny area.
