Recycled Water Bottles become a Plant Box

avatar
The plastic bottles came from my neighbor who gave them to me to use for gardening. It's six pieces but I won't be using the one bottle because I'm going to use it in an Aquarium I am going to make that doesn't need an electric motor.

I should have done this a long time ago but I don't know if I'm just lazy or I don't have time, LOL. Maybe I'm just busy with some things.

There are many ways to grow vegetables and fruits here in the middle east. What others do is they put their plant indoors so it doesn't dry out easily but you choose what you plant that can be indoors. Because there are plants that need a lot of light or sunlight to flower and bear fruit, such as tomatoes.

The Bitter Gourd is one of the ones I know that can be grown indoors that can flower and bear a lot of fruit. It only needs calcium support which can be obtained from crushed eggshells.

Just make sure that indoor plants are watered only once or twice a week. If it is too much your plant may die because its roots will rot. It is better to check if the soil is wet or dry before watering it.

The Eggplant

This is what I will plant in the plastic bottle that I cut. If it doesn't survive, I will plant chili and if it survives, this will be my first eggplant plant in my entire life, LOL. Do they say it's easy to grow and live eggplant? But it's not like me that no matter what I try, I can't grow eggplant.

I only have 5 to 6 eggplants that have survived, hopefully, when I transplant them they will continue to grow otherwise I will be replacing them with peppers.

And this is it! The plastic bottle is ready for planting. As usual, I put the soil in layers. First the dry grass then the fertile soil followed by some clean sand. I put dry grasses so that the soil has some space for the roots of the plant. I also put in some crushed eggshells.

Let's see what will happen after 2 weeks! ^_^
