Use our guide to create something more exciting and beautiful out of empty glass bottles…
Bottle garden
Get a bottle of beer cut a little off centre, slightly towards its neck. Take a 2×2 inch screen, cut a small hole in its centre to pass a thick string through it. Place it inside the bottle, with the string hanging down its neck. The bottom half of the bottle will be the reservoir and the top half will be the planter. Transplant your herbs, with the screen acting as a base support. Fill a glass or glass jar half with water and place the planter bottle inside, making sure that the string touches the bottom of the glass. The string will act as a wick to draw water upto the plant and keep the soil moist enough for your herbs to grow.
