I used a small soda bottle while on vacation. The bottom can be cut completely off using a scissors or you can leave about an inch as a hinge to hold the bottom on the bottle. I wanted to keep the water from evaporating so I left the 'hinge'. Everything worked fine; first time my son didn't kill my plants.

Remove the cap from the bottle, make a small hole in the plant material of your pot. Insert the bottle neck into the hole. Fill the bottle with water and gravity and absorption take care of the rest.

I imagine that someone has mentioned this before. If so, please forgive the reprint. I am trying my idea of an alternative to the Aqua Globe due to the expense. I am using plastic water bottles. Leave the top on and drill a 1/4 inch hole in it. Glue a length of poly tubing into it. Push the tubing into the soil near the roots as well as the top for support.

Lightly squeeze the bottle to "prime" the device.

I just tried it today and so far, so good. Also, I would think that it will work with any plastic bottle depending on the size of the plant. Have a good today and a better day tomorrow.

I have seen those water globes on TV for watering potted plants. Does anyone know how you could make some out of 8 oz. bottles? I would like to try and make some if anyone as any ideas on how.
