I love fresh herbs and vegetables for the pasta and homemade pizzas I make for my family, but really for every meal I cook. When I buy it either freshly cut or actually growing in a pot, it withers and dies quickly and pre-cut is very expensive, also organic is my choice but it can also be expensive. Recently, however, I found this video on Youtube that demonstrated how to quickly you can grow vegetable and lettuce plants to an almost infinite number of plants in recycled plastic bottles to have a never-ending food supply. He grows all kinds of plants on a rooftop garden for very little to no cash outlay. In fact if you did it for one year using this method you could have so much food from your plants, you might never have to buy any fresh food at the grocery store. The cutting and growing methods were not hard to follow at all.
Materials:
- Gallon Size Plastic Bottles
- Box Cutter or Scissors
- Soil
- Plants
- Water
Directions:
Take a few empty gallon-size bottles and cut a hole in one of the sides in an oval shape.
Then add soil and the seeds of your choosing and water, then put in a warm sunny area and water them every day.
Then enjoy watching your beautiful plant grow and then harvest them for food for your family. You can write what types of plants are in the container on the cap if you want to as well.
This is such a great idea, I’m going to put them everywhere.
