1. Begin with a plastic cola bottle. Choose a size that will suffice for
whatever you're planting.
2. Remove the label (or paint it, or wrap contact paper around the bottle.)
3. Poke drainage holes in the bottom of the bottle.
4. Layer the bottom of the bottle with rocks, pebbles, marbles, packing
peanuts, anything that will promote drainage.
5. Add 3 - 4" of potting soil.
6. Cut a 'V' shape in the cut side of the top portion of the bottle
7 & 8. Insert your seeds, seedlings or small plants. Gently squeeze the
bottom of the top of the bottle so that it will fit inside of the bottom portion
of the bottle. (see illustration)
Place on saucer on your window sill and enjoy watching your plants grow, or
transplant to your garden when they are big enough.
