Gardening can be simplified with something as straightforward as a garden scoop. Use it to dig planting holes or distribute mulch around plants. Take a vinegar bottle, detergent bottle or other rigid plastic bottle and carefully cut off the bottom/sides to create a scoop.
8. Fill planters
Garden containers can get really heavy if rocks/pebbles are put at the bottom of the pot to encourage drainage. To keep containers lighter, making them easier to move, fill the bottom of the pot with clean, empty plastic bottles (with the caps on), and add potting soil to the desired height. Gardening Know How recommends using plastics marked with a 1, 2, 4 or 5 for safety.
9. Hanging bottle planter
Create an eclectic hanging garden by upcycling plastic bottles to use as planters. Remove the bottoms with a sharp utility knife. Decorate with thread, punch holes to use for hanging and fill with your favorite plants. These efficient and simple ideas reduce plastic waste while benefiting the garden. Take an empty plastic bottle or two and get crafty, making something useful for your outdoor space!
