Ghetto Greenhouse:Seed Starter

Step 2 Getting your Ghetto Greenhouse ready

Once you've cut your soda bottle in half make some holes in the bottom so that water for drainage. I take my scissors and just punch a hole in the bottom. You can use a screw driver or a soldering gun or a heated object that will melt plastic.

i use soldering iron. switch the soldering iron tip to exacto knife to cut bottles clean.

That's a genius idea, I've got the perfect project to put that to use on. Thanks for the tip!

I have also used milk jugs to do this. You really do need holes and not slits. I have had success with a drill. If you can stack several close together you can drill holes in several of them at a time. Efficient!

I think i will give this a try also . It would be cool to see a massive red onion growing in a bottle!

This is an awesome instructable, and I'm going to try it. However, I wouldn't recommend the whole melting plastic thing. Plastic fumes aside, I'm moving to Montreal in a few months, so it'll be cold and there won't be much room to plant, so I'm glad I found this when I did.
