Building a bottle tower for container gardening

Plastic bottles stacked into a bottle tower can be recycled to set up a vertical kitchen garden at home. The bottle towers are used for container gardening of vegetables and herbs. How to build such a tower is shown in different steps.

Appreciate your comment

BRAVO~I worry about the plastic seeping into my food, however this is a FABULOUS idea I am highly impressed with the simplicity yet highly functionality…..and for those that drink out of these bottles anyway, this is a great recycling and fantastic gardening technique for small spaces

@waterfire4fun : Sincere thanks. If we have to be afraid of BPA leaching from the bottles into our food, why are billions not developing cancers or even perish when drinking from bottles in which their drinks remained for weeks, sometimes for months ? Do you refuse a soft drink in a plastic bottle ? Then don't make a bottle tower with those bottles. I do !

I sincerely hope you didn't take my compliment as anything other than that, I love the idea…..it is my choice not to drink from these bottles….and to answer your question, no I don't drink soda at all (hate it)….keep up the great videos!

Of course, I appreciated your compliment very much. My reply only addressed so many people doubting about the safety of our bottle towers (as if plant roots would absorb and stock possibly seeping BPA), but for decades continue to enjoy drinking from similar plastic or PET bottles.

@ChannelFadge : You can try all the vegetables and herbs with a reasonable root system.
