Use those bottles to water your garden during dry season

This instructable will show how to turn those quickly gathered water bottles into long term local watering canisters.

I get the local Grocery store brand spring water.

Step 1 Gathering materials and tools - and the first step

Needed, are a minimum of 2 bottles. Save the caps, and any bottles portions (after the top is cut off etc.; but I am getting ahead of myself).

The bottles I used are as thin as paper, so a good set of shears can but used for the one we cut.

• A hand drill like the one I picture in the following steps next to the bottle is useful too.
• A hot glue gun and glue sticks

and

• something to cut the cap top off (keeping the threads).

The very first thing I did was to remove the top portion of the bottle. I used a small coping saw blade (the handle is in need of repair), as shown below.

I guess using the mini hand drill makes it a bit too manual LOL

Ooooooops ! I missed seeing that one....oh well, I have another one I hope to get started on, that is totally different :-)

. I took that as a GMTA, not a you-stole-my-idea. Y'all's iBles are different enough that I think the Addendum to the Zeroth Law applies.

Ok :-)

Oh oh oh!! Finding a GH I'ble is like finding the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Nice work my friend!!

Thanks ...I hope to get a different and more complex one out in time for the contest too...but if not, I will get it out when I can :-)

. Great idea. . I'd leave the top and cap on, unless I had a lot of them to fill.

[Goodhart]

Well, in a decent sized garden there might be a number of them, and it might just be better to cap it, and use a portable funnel. But then, as Kiteman pointed out, it is a lot like his (which I didn't see until he pointed it out in here). BTW: thanks.
