6.       An innovative use for regular water bottles, pint to gallon is to turn them into pots. Cut the bottoms off the pint bottles, drill or poke holes around the screw top end for more drainage; put the bottle with the screw top off in soil or a pot to hold it. Then fill the pot with soil to plant seeds or hold a 2 inch starter pot transplant. You will have adequate drainage with proper loamy light soil. Or do the same thing with a 2 liter bottle but cut it in half to make two planters. Drill holes in the bottom and around the bottom. Then do the same around the neck of the bottle. Now you have two planters to use. Fill with a good potting soil and use for transplanting a 4 inch starter nursery plant. This is an excellent low-cost way to start an indoor herb garden and it recycles water or soda bottles that would normally end up in a landfill.
