Green DIY For My Gardener Friends

I came across a couple of things on the DIY site Instructables that I thought some of you might enjoy. Self watering plant pots and vases made from old plastic bottles.

I used to make something like this (a terrarium instead of a pot) when I was a kid of out of old 2 liter soda bottles when they still had the plastic caps on the bottom of the bottles. Very cool stuff, a great way to keep recyclables out of the landfills, and useful for plant-lovers everywhere. Best of all, most of it won’t cost you anything as it’s mostly made from “trash”. Enjoy.

    If you’re into Green DIY, check out http://www.GreenDIY.org - it’s a website created as part of Ben & Jerry’s Climate Change College (www.climatechangecollege.org) to help everyone make their homes more environmentally friendly through DIY projects. It’s a wiki site too, so if you have tips/photos/etc to help fix the planet through Green DIY, you can post them on site to share with others!
