2 Litre Sub-Irrigated Planters
« on: May 01, 2013, 12:38 »
Afternoon All,

Has anybody tried making one of these, and what sort of sucess have you had?

I've been keeping all my 2 litre bottles, to have a go.

Also, what sort of plants do you think they'll be good for?

Surely too small for tomato's?
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

good idea but i cant think what i might grow in such a small container that would make it worth the bother.
