Posted to Instructables by njacksx

Step 1:Hardware

1. 2l soda bottles.
2. Scrap wood, bamboo sticks, PVC or similar for frame.
3. Wood screws.

Step 2:Tools

1. Knife to cut tops off.
2. Drill press / hand drill to drill holes through the bottle neck and to screw frame together.
3. Screwdriver.
4. Hand saw to cut scrap wood to size.

Step 3:Cut soda bottles

Cut top of bottle off as shown.

Step 4:Drill soda bottles

Drill bottle neck as shown.

Step 5:Build a frame

Build a frame to hold your bottles as shown in the two sketches. Note that the opening of the lower bottle must be screwed to the top bottles' neck. I have not used any measurements because you can make your own custom size. I have made a 5 column X 3 row frame. This could be made to any configuration.

Step 6:Screw bottles on frame

Screw bottles on frame.

Step 7:Stones, potting soil, planting and watering

Put stones in the bottom of each neck for drainage. Fill with potting soil. Plant seeds or seedlings and water.
Good luck.
