They have a huge experimental garden you take a tram through. They had all these plants that grew upside-down there. They were for saving space, or something, and if I remember properly, those didn't even grow in soil! Then a few years later, Topsy-Turvy plants are available to the public. Quoting: zombieintrainingGotta love Disney Imagineering! It was hydroponics, grown in water with a medium other than soil (pebbles or spongy material that you can get from a store that carries nursery supplies).Same idea as the Aero Garden. There are alot of systems that are really easy to make. Some Agricultural Colleges have designs and directions accesible online. Rutgers in NJ has a website that has that. John 3:16 (Amplified Bible) “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

(OP) User ID: 518744 United States 04/27/2010 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How about this for another use for two liter bottles If you put hot water (as hot as your tap will run) in a 2 liter bottle and cap it tight, it will hold heat all night. If the water is really hot wrap it because it does conduct heat really well. The shape is good to curl up with or to tuck into the covers at your feet, and it doesn't leak. And if you have young uns, Heat the water on whatever source you have, use a cardboard or tinfoil funnel to fill them. Hold the bottle on the inside of your wrist and count 10 to check the heat. Make a rectangle of 4 if you have them. Put a heavy blanket over them and tuck or pin it so baby can't touch the plastic if he/she moves around. It makes a warm little nest. It's worth knowing if there's a tiny baby around and the power goes off. Not a lot of people have hot water bottles anymore since they think the heat will always be on, but you can almost always find 2 liter bottles. Last Edited by F.B.Nyte on 04/27/2010 12:08 AM |

(OP) User ID: 518744 United States 04/27/2010 12:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These little but great ideas, are the means, for mild independence, little by little. I have alot of garden projects now, this is great way to protect them from critters. Thank You! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 953966Another use from the site I posted earlier... I'd seen on a gardening video, folks using these terrecotta pots from India filled with water and sunk into the ground to slowly water the dirt, so I took some 2 ltr bottles, poked small holes in them. A couple in the very bottom and then several rows of them around the sides, and sunk them into the dirt and then planted like 3 cabbage, or collard plants around them. I'm thinking I'll get a funnel with a long spout or something like that to make watering easier once the plants get up big and sort of cover over the bottles. I can use liquid fertilizer in them like fish emulsion or whatever too. I wanted to try them with radishes too so what I did with those was put a couple holes in the bottom and then some just partway up the sides and buried them down about as far as radishes usually grow, now they'll have a steadier supply of water and hopefully be bigger and sweeter if they don't get stressed for water. with those, I put the bottle in the ground and then sewed the radish seed in a band around each bottle. I'm going to do something similar with the onions I think too. wonder if a person could use 20 oz. bottles in large pots? beats letting them end up in the landfill or ocean. LOL anyway, anyone here got good ideas for a second life for these bottles? oh, and since they are covered in dirt or mulch except for the top, they don't fall apart like they would if they were in the hot sun. I used this last year with some tomato plants and those bottles are still good and I am reusing them this year as well. Also, later, I'm going to be making some of those earth box type containers out of some food grade 5 gal. buckets too. I've got a plan! LOL ----------- Careful how many holes you make in the bottle though. |

WHY! don't be soooo dumb! Actually, I've read where the tire thing is pretty safe...I do avoid used Railroad ties and treated landscape timbers though... you READ wrong! there are sooooo many chemicals in tires because real rubber is super expensive that they don,t even know there real composition. a toxic soup to say the least! and you are going to eat something that was growing in it for 12 weeks! the pop bottles are going to leach chemicals because UV breakdown. Monsanto has pretty healthy GM foods for you compared to this crap. their GM corn might be as bad as these ideas. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 954402just use a 2-3" hole saw on your drill on the bottom 2-3 holes on a round 5 gal. or 1 hole (4) in each corner of the sq. litter pails. Herbs grow well on the top too the point is DON'T trust plastics! or the toxic soup called tires! |
