Save your plastic bottles (Page 2 ) | February 12, 2024

There’s no need to buy a watering can if you have a spare juice bottle. Clean it out well and, using a small drill bit, drill holes in the cap. Fill the bottle with water, screw the cap back on and you have a DIY watering can.

4. Sprinkler

Poke or drill holes in one side of an empty, clean 2-liter plastic bottle to create a yard and garden sprinkler. Add a female hose end, a female swivel adapter and hose washers to connect it directly to the garden hose.

5. Fruit picker

Picking high limbs on fruit trees just got incredibly easier with this plastic bottle hack. Cut a hole on the side at the bottom of a 2-liter bottle and add a handle to the neck of the bottle. Slip the fruit into the hole, pull down and watch as peaches, pears and apples drop safely into the bottle.

6. Wasp trap

Some sources, such as State-By-State Gardening, encourage gardeners to let wasps freely fly around the garden to ward off other pests and increase pollination. But if you’d rather not tempt fate and end up stung, it’s easy to fashion a DIY wasp trap out of a plastic bottle using a utility knife and a stapler. The wasps enter to get to the solution but struggle to get back out.
