Whether to garden e grow your plants you would like it very much, but in times of crisis there will be no encroachment on spending money on it buy vases, balconies, soil, plants (and so on and so forth!) So how can you miss the opportunity to do a project like this? Use your waste!
Tetra pak, PET bottles, yogurt containers and tin cans will be your perfect allies: you will make it yourself village, propagation systems for cuttings and mini greenhouses all with 0 extra expenses plus goodbye soil and away with the compost!
The first step is to collect enough containers then clean them thoroughly and then off to DIY!

With cardboard, ribbons (or recycled cords) and gods yoghurt pots you can then create fantastic (and here it is appropriate to say it since they resemble the fairy tale of the magic bean!) suspended compositions by planting beans or other small climbing plants, perhaps the very simple mint or even ivy ...

If you then have any PET bottles like those of water or soft drinks, decorate and hang them with a simple salvaged rope so as to make them perfect containers for aromatic herbs or for climbing plants….

But still…cans of tomatoes, soft drinks, tea or of legumes washed, colored, decorated hanging with a simple hook on your wall or placed on the ground, they become excellent vases where you can grow flowers, bulbs and deciduous plants ...

What you will need here too will be some PET bottles of those for soft drinks and nothing else: not only will you use recycled material but you will get functional and educational jars!
In fact, you can see exactly how it happens irrigation by capillary action in the area of the root system of the plants themselves this, therefore, makes the project very educational for children because it allows them to perfectly understand how the soil-root system works.
The first step is to remove the label from the bottle you can use a hairdryer by placing it directly on the label or fill the bottle with very hot water so as to dissolve the adhesive; then, once detached, just draw a line with a permanent marker about the middle of the bottle itself and then cut it carefully.
Then make a series of holes in the upper part of the bottle then halve the bottle by cutting a little more to adapt it in length: the goal is to obtain the upper part of the neck which, once placed inside the lower part, touches the bottom.
Then insert the upper part into the lower part and place a bit of gauze as a "cap" to keep the soil inside the upper portion of the bottle, then push the soil firmly until the "cap" protrudes slightly from the hole : this ensures contact between water and soil.
That's it now all you have to do is plant everything you want!
