Site doesn't work? :-(

Very nice I was In the glass Biz for years and cut many a bottles, by the way your website is expired the best to you my friend

I love this project and your dramatic voiceover in the video! Very cool stuff. Haters gonna hate, but I think you've got a winner on your hands.

Cheers,

Nicely done, but...
- all the work
- all the plastic
- for a few ml water?

Just take a big glass bottle (1l, 2 pints or bigger), fill it completely with water (no cap!) and ram it into the soil. Lots of water, no plastic. Works with sturdier plastic bottles as well. Only the very thin plastic ones will collapse under the atmospheric pressure.

My sons both bought 6 packs of the small coke glass bottles and I made them save all their emptys for me!! I am excited to try this. Just need the caps and tubing. I have about 20 indoor plants now that I had to bring in my dwarf pomegranates, fig, honey berries and have an avocado tree started!

"Yum yum" says the plant, heehee.
Great tute, especially for someone like me who has a lot of potted plants!
All y'all out there raggin' on this tute, get a life.

Cool video, the voiceover was so unexpected, it made me laugh out loud!

Hey! Im brazilian, and i used this idea here, great idea! Congratulation!

Loved your idea. I used half liter, plastic soda bottles. They are working great. Saves me a ton of time watering each week! Thanks for the idea :)

Like this!

This may sound a little weird but also a woman's downstairs cleaning product "nozzle" would work pretty good too. Don't know why that popped into my head, i think it's because of the holes already in it. Great idea btw diygenius!! Sorry if my idea grossed anyone out. I figure you could also use a plastic bottle for it, say a 1 liter for larger plants. Thanks for the Instructable!!

This is so neet, I bought one plant waterer did not work. This one is super.
Thanks

expensive store bought feeder. $$$.

Coke bottle - $
glue gun - $
pvc cap - $
tubing - $
drill, drill bits, glue, vice, saw,,, - $
time - $

$$$ vs. $$$$$

just take your liter bottle with a screw on cap. fill with water, put cap back on, drill 1/16" hole in cap, jam into dirt. works great.

For the sceptics that think the vacuum would hold the water in the bottle you are right up to a point. It helps prevent the water from draining out too fast but when it is dry around the holes a drip will form and when it is absorbed an air bubble will go up into the bottle releasing a small amount of the vacuum. I have two store bought dog waterers that work in a simular way. They use two-liter plastic Coke bottles that attach to the edge of a water bowl upside-down. When the water is used to below the mouth of the bottle the bottle gurgles a little an refills the bowl back above the mouth of the bottle. These store bought units were not cheep, I wish I had thought of how easy it would have been to devise my own design to work in a simular way. Nice job on the plant watering Coke bottle.

Time? I have very little time, so I save it whenever I can. If your time is not the most valuable thing you possess, then you have missed something that will come to you in a few decades, after which you will realize how much time you have frittered away and how incredibly valuable it actually was.

just leave the plastik stuff away and stick a bottle filled with water into the plant, works with my plant for a few weeks.

I think this is cool, no matter what anyone else says. Good job!

Great job! I love Coke!

Pretty neat reuse for a glass coke bottle, but the voice-over in the video is creepy!

But there's no way for air to get into the bottle, so wouldn't the resulting vacuum let only a small amount of the water trickle out? Seems to me that you'd be constantly refilling this thing to get it working again.
