Put on the lid, and check water level, should fill till there is at least 1-2 cm of water.

Then there are a few options...
Easiest
1. fill with moistened Perlite or Any hydroponic medium..
2. Plant seeds or plants into medium.
3. Just remember to check the water levels.

Removeable Recycled Bottle Option. (Picture with Strawberry)
1. Using the top 1/2 of 600ml bottle
2. Drill holes in the lids
3. Screw of lids, invert 1/2 bottle fill with moistened medium.
4. Place into pot, making sure that the cap sits in a little water
5. Plant Seeds or Whateva.

Tricky
See Picture attached.. (Brocoli & Pumkin)
1. Using the lid off a baby formula (soft plastic kind)
2. And a pair of scissors make one cut from edge to the centre,
3. Make a small circle in the centre,
4. Put a plant into the hole in the centre and using 2 screws,
5. Screw the lid into the foam.
6. Then i taped up the clear lid with green eletrical tape to stop the light getting to the roots which can kill it.
7. So this grows with no medium at all!!! Quickest growth, not suitable for all plants, and occasionally you have to lift the plant so it doesn't strangle itself in the hole as it grows.

P.s.
Make sure you wash plants roots, if they have previously growing in soil.
You don't want soil in your roots at all..
