THIS IS MY FIRST INSTRUCTABLE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.

YOU CAN MAKE A RECYCLED SELF WATERING ORGANIC PLANTER FROM ANY PLASTIC DRINK BOTTLE BUT I CHOSE TO USE A 2 LITRE BOTTLE BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT A FAIRLY DECENT SIZED PLANT IN IT WITHOUT IT TIPPING OVER.

Step 1:

1) TAKE A 2 LITRE BOTTLE AND RINSE IT OUT THOROUGHLY WITH HOT WATER AND VINEGAR.
2) REMOVE THE CAP AND DRILL A SMALL 1/8" HOLE IN THE CENTER.
3) CUT A 12" LONG PIECE OF COTTON STRING.
4) TIE A KNOT 3" FROM THE CUT ENDS TO MAKE A ' Y ' SHAPE.
5) FEED THE STRING THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CAP TILL YOU HIT THE KNOT.

Step 2:

6) CUT THE BOTTLE CLOSE TO THE TOP WITH A UTILITY KNIFE AND REMOVE.
7) FILL THE BOTTOM WITH WATER AND ORGANIC PLANT NUTRIENTS.
8) REPLACE THE CAP ON THE TOP PIECE OF BOTTLE.

Step 3:

9) TURN THE TOP PIECE OVER AND PLACE ONTO THE BASE PIECE.
10) FILL THE TOP WITH ORGANIC COCONUT FIBER AND BE SURE THAT THE STRING IS EVENLY PLACED TO HELP DISTRIBUTE THE WATER.
11) LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ADD YOUR FAVORITE PLANT.
12) YOU NOW HAVE A RECYCLED SELF WATERING ORGANIC PLANTER.

Step 4:
