Bottle Tower Gardens

Intro: Bottle Tower Gardens

This video shows the efficiency and sustainability of a bottle tower garden. They can be installed against the wall of a house or along a hedge or a fence.  The number of bottle towers has to be adapted for providing food security for the family all year long and year after year.  It is a method applicable anywhere on earth, both in rural and in urban areas, e;g. on a balcony.  It can be applied at the lowest cost to alleviate malnutrition and hunger.

How are those towers made?
Are there any cuts or holes? Are they just plain plastic pipes of joined bottle bodies?
I Assume there are holes, but how do you avoid dirt from falling out?

I have looked at your other videos for the instructions of building these towers. I found many how to PLANT them but not how to build them. Nothing on soil, irrigation, how to put them together, what materials used to put them together. I have looked on your youtube channel and googled you also. No luck in find the instructions for construction just how to plant them. If you do have vid for this please post. This would be a wonderful inside project for our classroom :)

Don't the bottles contain nasty chemicals that contaminate the plants?
