1. Watering your plants could be a hassle because you need to get out the hose out and put it away.
2. If you are going on a vacation for a long period of time you might want to think about how you are going to water your plants.
3. You could need a container to put your juice or water in so that there would not be any pouring therefore causing messy spilling.

Supplies:
     water bottle
     water you use for watering your plants
     thumb tack

Lid:
Unscrew the water bottle lid. Get the thumb tack and poke holes in the lid. You could make it any design you would like. Make sure you do not make the holes too big.

Fill:
Get the water you use for watering the plants and fill it up until your desire is fulfilled. Screw the lid with holes on them back onto the water bottle.

Use:
Go to where ever you have your plants which need watering. Turn the bottle upside down and squeaze. Make sure you do not squeeze too hard. If the water bottle does get flat, put your mouth on the mouth peice and blow into it until unflattened.

This is totally useless if you are going to use tap water for it. I would suggest you go to home depot and make a rain gutter with holes, that will auto refill your containers...

A better alternative would be to just make one or two tiny hole(s) on your cap, then simple flip it upside down and stuck it in the dirt of your plant and just leave it there. The water would slowly drain into your plan overtime, could be in a period of over a day or 2...

Much better than just using the bottle as a "garden shower spray"...
