Great ideas! Just a note for some on the slow drip irrigation, I have had baby birds and small animals fall into open containers of water that I left outside and they drowned unable to get out on their own. I felt terrible, so now I always cover any open container of water that might become a trap to an animal.

@joanies6778 Год назад

I posted above you can still use the jug method with the cap on... just loosen it up until the water drips as fast or as slow as you need. This way, you don't need to cut out a hole in the top.

@rickysekhon5706 Год назад

You can make different containers for bird coz they’re out of water in summer’s

@MsCafecito Год назад

Highly unlikely for most.

@3namechangezalowdevry90day7 Год назад

Leaving the cap on means you can fill it from a rain barrel and carry it upside down with the cap screwed on .

@oakmaiden2133 Год назад

I add a rough branch to my container ponds for lizards and birds to climb out on in case of falling in.

My grandmother died in 2011 at 105. She loved gardening and sewing. I still remember how she would utilize her empty milk jugs to grow plants. At the time I thought it looked ugly. Now it's in fashion .....😁😉

@galedavis3198 Год назад

Good ideas,I am an old man but the learning never stops. Thanks brother.

@violet2048 Год назад

I don't cut the spout out, I use smaller pebbles that will fit through the spout. To prevent mosquitos from laying eggs in the water, get some old or cheap panty hose, cut circles out of them and finish he edges with a glue to prevent raveling. Then get a hair tie for ponytails. Place the netting over the spout and wrap the ponytail band around the spout. It works.

@terimiller6814 Год назад

Thanks, great idea!!

@johnlennox-pe2nq Год назад

i use my G string to cover my bottles and blood filled tampons as ground fetilizer

@AngieInNC 2 месяца назад

Am I missing something? Why not just use the cap that came with the bottle? If you need air, poke some teeny holes .....no?🤔

@joanies6778 Год назад

On hot days, I keep 8 jugs by my garden hose, which runs about 150' long. When I have to use the water from the hose during the summer, I fill the jugs first until the water from the hose runs cool enough to water plants or clean the birdbath. Later, after the water in the jugs cools down in the shade, I use those to water my plants where the hose won't reach. No waste. Using the jugs to provide a slow drip, I found I didn't have to cut the top off. Simply by loosening the cap, I can regulate how fast or how slow the water drips through. The clear jug used for hydroponics will form algae due to sun getting through. You can spray paint the outside to prevent algae. When using the milk jug as a greenhouse, try gluing a piece of string to the lid and tie the other end around the handle or neck so it doesn't blow away or get lost. Don't forget to push the mulch up around the base so cold air doesn't get through. 🤗

@pricklypear7516 2 месяца назад

I have a lot of houseplants. I keep empty milk jugs to fill up in the kitchen when I'm waiting for hot water (rather than just letting it run down the drain). I "hide" the full jugs in or around my larger plants and don't have to run back and forth with a watering can for weekly waterings.

@157-40_T Год назад

With the higher temps of 110+; adding a jug with two holes on each side will help provide more water during the long - high temp hours so plant gets minimal to no shock. In PacNW, our afternoons from noon to 8 pm are very hot and this helps even with regular watering.

@cinmor7843 Год назад

I drill a hole in the caps of glass bottles (mostly wine bottle gathered from friends) & upend them beside a plant instead since they are sturdier, as well as hold up better in the wind when they are almost empty. Milk jugs get returned for a 25 cents deposit.

Thank you sir ...can you show us how to grow citrus tree from seed mine always die we have a very hot hot dry weather and i grow them on pots only

@terimiller6814 Год назад

Hope this helps, I am having good luck with lemon seeds right now. They're in a spot that gets sun almost all day. I water them very thoroughly every morning since I found out they like a lot of water. In this hot sun they dry out by the end of the day. Even so they are in pots that drain well so hopefully they don't get root rot. In maybe a year (or more) I will plant them in the yard, when they are sturdy enough to survive animals.

@ReapWhatYouSowGardening Год назад

I tried this milk jug hack and lets just say it was amazing I used it on our tomatoes and they are growing awesome

@cathy4735 Год назад

You can cut the milk jug like a scoop using the handle to scoop up soil/fertilizer out of a bag, if you buy your fertilizer. You need a thicker milk bottle to handle the weight. You can use it also to add a little water to potted plants or make a, self-watering by using a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. Cut the inner circle ⭕ out and put some rocks in the bottom for drainage and then add the circle 🔴 making a hole , get PVC pipe and cut the hole the size of the PVC pipe ( 2-3") insert the pipe then cut it about 10-12 inches above your 5 gallon bucket. Poke a hole in the side of the bucket about 5" from the bottom in case there is too much water, the excess will drain out. Fill the bucket with water just below circle 🔴 at the bottom. Add your soil to your veggie plant and mist the top. If growing something like tomato plants, add a wire or trellis to hold it up. If you want you can snap the outside ring you cut, back on the bucket for a smooth edge. ⭕

@danholtbk7008 Год назад

Yes, I use 1/2 gallon milk jugs for a chicken feed scoop. I cut the bottom 1/3 off, keep the lid on and now I have a scoop with a handle.

This is fabulous information. The only questions I have are 1. Were the coffee grounds used or fresh. I think they would be used but not sure. 2. When you have made your compost tea concentrate, then what? Do you dilute it before using on your plants?

hydroponic containers need darkness so that light won't penetrate and create algae. Otherwise you will have to constantly change the water out.
