Unusual use of plastic bottles in the countryside

In the eyes of a zealous owner, plastic bottles are an invaluable material that can be used infinitely in the garden or at the dacha. They will save the family budget and add aesthetic appeal to the site. It is enough to use skillful hands and add a little imagination to make useful devices.

Fencing for beds and flower beds


A good alternative to boards, slate and brick is a border of identical bottles placed around the perimeter of the garden bed. They hold their shape reliably and are not washed away by heavy rains. In order for the container to stand stable, it must be buried or tied with wire.
If there is not enough space on the site, you can build a multi-tiered flower bed. It is performed using the same technology as a bottle palisade, only after creating the first tier you need to fill the space with soil, and then form a new level on it.

Five-liter barrels are an excellent material for making mini-flower beds. It is enough to remove part of the side surface, pour soil inside and the compact flower garden is ready.If desired, you can decorate it with fairy-tale or cartoon characters, and also make group compositions in the form of a train or a necklace.

Flower pots


PET bottles can easily be transformed into small decorative pots for your favorite flowers. They will fit perfectly into the interior of a summerhouse or garden house. If you put a fabric cover on such a flowerpot, you will get a stylish and original flowerpot for the summer veranda.

Irrigation of plants


Watering is an important component of a good harvest, but what to do if you can only get out to the dacha for the weekend, and the season is in full swing? Plastic bottles come to the rescue again, from which it is not difficult to build an effective irrigation system.

Irrigation near the roots


For watering you will need bottles without a bottom. Instead of a lid, we screw a cone-shaped nozzle onto their neck and stick it into the ground next to the plant. Pour water on top and create drip irrigation. A simpler option is to place the container upside down and cover it with soil for greater stability.

Another way to save your pets from drought is to bury a bottle with holes in the garden bed and pour water through the neck. This ensures maximum liquid penetration into the soil and eliminates wind damage to the structure.

splashing


Plastic containers will help organize water supply by splashing. To do this, we first make many holes on the bottle and connect a watering hose to it. The system allows you to irrigate the entire area of ​​the garden, subject to periodic placement in a new location.

Suspended irrigation


The bottles are placed on a wire or rope tied to a support. The container should be placed over the plant - neck down or up. In the first case, water will flow out through the lid, and in the second through the holes in the bottom.This method allows you to fine-tune the flow intensity and provide the plant with the right amount of liquid.

Trash can


Owners of suburban areas are well aware of how much garbage accumulates in their country house or garden. A special container made of plastic containers and steel wire will help fight it.

First, using an awl, we make holes for the wire in the center of the caps. Then, using a utility knife, we cut a groove in the bottom where the bottleneck will be inserted. Next, we begin assembling the structure by stringing containers onto wire and placing the necks in the bottom.
To prevent the tank from falling apart, we make a wire frame. To do this, using pliers, we form several rings of the same diameter, to which we screw bottle posts with thin wire. The bottom can be made of plywood, galvanized or wire.

    Everything in the pictures is beautiful, but in reality - well, if you don’t have money for anything else.
    And we tried watering, the difference is not particularly noticeable with regular watering. Perhaps for young grape seedlings.Bottles quickly lose their shape and become clogged with soil...

    Ogradka, my wife’s sister read a lot and gave it to us, it turned out to be a collective farm of chervona tsitska ;)
    It makes noise and creaks in the wind, I think it will soon fall apart. And of course, you need to take mineral baths to accumulate bottles for a more or less significant fence)))

    When plastic is heated above +50 Celsius, it begins to release dioxin - a strong carcinogen that accumulates in the body... You yourself are poisoned, but the rest are not to blame for anything, what are they for?

    It may be suitable for the first time. But what about in a month when it rains, the beds become dirty, and what?
