I made several of these and use them regularly. Instead of using a hammer and nail to punch out the holes, I used a soldering iron. =)

That’s the exact jug I use to water my indoor plants (because I put plant food in it, so I just leave the water in it all the time..) but I never thought to improve it like that. Hurr. Guess I’ll do that.
It IS a really good container, good shape and everything.

I work with recycling and I found another great way to turn plastic containers into waterers. Save a 16-oz plastic pop bottle. Take the lid off. Cut off the bottom. Now turn it upside down and bury it or “plant” it in your flower garden. When you water, fill up the pop bottle and as the ground soaks up the water, it will go down. I have a flower bed at a 45 degree angle and I spent the first 2 summers watering the street instead of the flowers. Now I’m smarter in several ways. I place them about 2 feet apart at the “top” of my flower garden. I figure gravity will help me a little to reach the plants toward the street side.

Oh gosh, what a simple, yet absolutely wonderful idea! I save old jugs for various uses, and this is one I will definitely put into use right away.

HI,
A very interesting site. Very cool ideas. I do like to recycle, but you’ve really come up with some great stuff. I’ll definitly have to look into this more.

Regards,

What neat and creative ideas! I’m now following. I am learning to be “green” and trying to be more crafty as well.

I would NEVER have thought of this! In the UK, all our milk comes in these 4 or 6 pint containers and i put 5 or 6 of them into the recycling box every week.
What a great idea.

I have one of these that I made! Actually, I have two. I have never purchased a watering can before in my life – there’s no reason not to upcycle in this case! Thanks Cindy!
