So far the lettuce in the soda bottle SIP are doing well.
I made a second one from a smaller bottle and have planted a purple or white daisy in it. I was concerned it wouldn't survive being moved from a less than ideal spot between the pavers to the pot, but it seems to have.
I also stumbled on another gem with some 1L yogurt containers. The beauty of these are they nest beautifully making a natural reservoir for the water without any cutting or addition of extra bits. All I needed to do was make some holes in the bottom and thread some yarn though them and get ready to plant.
First you need 2 of these containers. Make sure they have been cleaned properly as you don't want your plants to suffer from mouldy, sour dairy products.
Next. Make a few holes at the bottom, and thread your yarn through them.
I tide a knot making a loop at the top so that they stay put and can spread the water.
Then you can nest them, the prepared on into the untouched one, and they are ready to serve as an awesome SIP for your next plant. They are snug enough not to have an evaporation problem, but still separate easily so when it comes time to top up the reservoir, its simple.
The ease of this makes so much sense, and the way my kids homemade frozen yogurt pops, I could be overrun with these one of these days.
