DIY vertical garden using plastic bottles



Did you know you could use plastic bottles, to make your own vertical garden and grow food in any space? Over the past years I built different versions of this vertical garden using plastic bottles and it works great because it takes up minimal space and with just a small amount of water you can irrigate the whole system. You can also place a pot or similar under it so the excess water it’s not wasted.

    One question, hopefully you reply me

    Are you vegetarian? Cause i don't see any farm animal like chicken
    Is it possible if you have a chicken?

    I actually have a whole bunch of white bleach bottles from my aunt and uncle using bleach for our pool. So I just take the bottles and save them then I'm cleaning them all out taking the labels off drilling my holes and stacking them. And at the very bottom I'll have my strawberry trays that I recycled from old fluorescent light fixtures to clear glass fixture that snaps on top I have a ton of them
