We pierce the cap of the bottle and voila. You fill the bottle with water and then close it with the holed cap. Turn the bottle upside down to water.

Another alternative is to pierce the surface of the bottle to make it an automatic watering can at low cost.

  • A flower pot

The bottle is cut into two parts then the closed head is reversed using a stopper pierced on the second part which represents the support. You put the system on sand like in the picture below.

  • A hanging garden

The same principle as the flowerpot except that this time we only cut part of the bottle.

We can be more creative by transforming our plastic piles into chairs. Hello comfort.
