Self watering container pot made from recycled 6L water bottle - Jeddah Saudi Arabia

This is my instructional paper for making self-watering containing pot using 6L water bottle. I actually live in Saudi Arabia where the weather could become unforgiving, mid 30s to lower 40's.






What you will need:






Empty 6L Water bottles



Cutter



Scissor



7X4" 100% cotton cloth (old t-shirt or rag will do)



Hydroton or gravel/stones



Potting mix/soil



Packing or masking tape
