Recycle-DIY veritical wall garden

Hello steemit, with a little clever ingenuity you can now recycle and turn those left over soda bottles into a beautiful vertical garden. All we need are a few simple supplies and a bit of crafting skills.

This is Do-It-Yourself DIY vertical gardening!

You will need:

• 2 - liter plastic bottle, empty and clean
• Pair of Scissors
• Rope, string, twine, or wire
• Washers (two per bottle if thin rope or wire is chosen)
• Dirt (general potting soil will do
• Seedlings (herbs, vegetables, or other plants are all OK)

Instructions

To secure the bottles, you must first make two holes by punching through both sides of the bottom of the cylinder and at the top of the bottle. See the pictures for an example.

In addition to the holes made for your rope, you need a couple extra small holes in the bottom of the bottle. This is so that water used to irrigate the seedling can drain off.

After that, thread the string through a hole and pull out through the other side.

Note: Many people have asked how to make sure the bottles do not “slip down” on the rope (or string or cordage). Either tie a large knot in the rope or tie the knot around a washer at the desired level.

To cut out the center piece simply make a small hole and use a pair of scissors to make the cutout.

Then simply stretch and attach the rope to the wall. This can be achieved by using washers tied to the top anchor point and fastened into place by inserting a anchor bolt into the wall.

Once your wall garden is up and hanging fill with potting soil, plant your seeds and water!

Thanks for stopping by I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and happy recycling :-)
