Cut out the top half of the bottle. Then stick the bottle on a strong cloth strip which will serve as the backbone of the bottles. Line up the bottles up to the last part of the cloth. Once done – you can start sitting in your plants.
As your plants grow, these will imitate a green wall effect that adds aesthetic appeal to your bare wall. Isn’t it such a space saver right!

Tower Garden
Another great space saver idea is here! You can use 2-liter plastic bottles of sodas. First, cut out the bottom part. Then poke holes on the bottle’s neck – this will serve as the drain holes. Position the bottle upside down. This kinda imitates the inverted half plastic bottle garden. The only difference is that this is not attached to a wooden frame.
Once you prepared all the bottles, you can start planting your seeds on it one by one. Then you insert one bottle to another bottle upside down that is filled with soil already. Making them look like a tower. Make sure that as you tower them higher, you keep them still with some wires. If you put them up against a wall, try to attach at least the middle bottle to the wall.
These are just a few of the space saver garden ideas you can do out of plastic bottles. Hopefully, these had given you a chance to create that garden you always wanted to even at a small space.
Happy garden bottling!!!
