DIY BOTTLE GREENHOUSE
It really can’t get any simpler. Just cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle, and unscrew the cap. That gives you a mini “greenhouse”!
Although it’s so simple, it is surprisingly effective at raising the temperature about 10+ (Fahrenheit) degrees, an easy way to give warm season plants a headstart such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants
Here are 3 tips we found to be quite useful-
- select larger bottles such as gallon juice or water jugs, so plants can grow bigger in them for longer time if the weather is still cold
- leave the top cap off! The mini greenhouses can get too hot at noon if it’s completely enclosed. The best time to use them is when outside temperature ranges from 45 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
- when seedlings are still small, a good way to ensure that water can get to them is to create a soil basin larger than the bottom of the cut bottle, so water can seep through the basin, like in the photos below
