Milkbottles and our tin shed wall!
As enviroschools, recycling and re-using is part of what we do on a daily basis. Here is what we did with our empty milk bottles and homegrown seedlings from our potting shed to liven up our tin shed wall at Tawa Montessori ...

Now this is a GREAT idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. We have a very small and uninspiring outdoor space and this will definitely brighten it up. Now to get started on drinking all that milk! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGeniale!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all, they look great. We have just discovered there are now swan plant seedlings growing in them. Bring on the monarch butterflies!

What a great idea !!!! Would work well for growing strawberries.....
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing such a fantastic idea! Have my first carton cut and will be adding more. Can't wait! Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Currently I use the milk bottles by putting small pin holes in the bottom corner (or each corner if more plants are close by) and then they water drop by drop individual plants. I fill them up with my rain barrel, also store them inside so they auto fill too as well, and so the water is pure and free. This means that the plants that I want to grow get direct water and no water for the weeds and no wasting water. The plant then gets a slow deep water which helps stimulate deeper root growth rather than spraying with the hose which tends not to go so deep and can cause shallow root growth. This makes plants susceptible to die back when the ground gets extremely dry. This can apply for vegetable gardens to flower gardens and cuts back on water wastage! Beware that if you have debris in your water the holes can get plugged so need to be rinsed occasionally... Hope this helps some people JDK 2013...
