Step 1: Prepare bottle

Wash out the bottle you will be using and remove any labels. Most of the label should peel off easily. There may be a sticky strip on one side; you can usually loosen the label glue by soaking the bottle in warm soapy water.

As Tazom explained, in Canada we refer to soda or soft drinks as 'pop'.
Tazom in reply to adsandyJan 26, 2010. 6:39 PM
Its American slang for Soda, amazing lot the first time I have seen this question asked!

It's so funny, here in Australia they simply call it by brand, or just "Coke". I tried pop, soda, and cola... Coke is the only word that works for the average Aussie. Haha

we vermonters (and other new englanders) call it soda too!

I used your idea to protect some seedlings while I'm waiting to plant them.

I linked back here from the original shot on flickr.

Thanks!

tip about every day dry the bottle because the water will grow mold and can kill your plants
