Make your own "Cloche Dome" (individual plant greenhouse) with bonus pot saucer from recycled water cooler containers.

The “Cloche Dome” is useful in Spring when you are just setting out your plants and the weather turns chilly for a day/night. You just pull it out and stick it over your plant. Also works in Fall if you are trying to extend your growing season.

Safety first: eye protection and gloves are a must as the plastic is hard/brittle and can crack easily.

Tool: Hacksaw (I used fine toothed but you can probably go faster with a larger toothed, but the trade-off would be the cleanness of the cut)

Material: 5 gallon water coolers that have developed leaks/small cracks (you can ask your water cooler supplier)

Step 1

Get water cooler. Put on your safety gear.
