Happy Birthday, Dear Hawai'i Gardening Blog!
It's the second anniversary of this here blog thing. To celebrate, let's make ourselves a very thoughtful, very inexpensive gardening gift.
Watch it in action. You'll want one.
DIY WATERING CAN
Stuff You'll Need
Plastic laundry detergent bottle
Drill with bit that makes tiny holes
Utility knife
Rinse out bottle thoroughly. Drill plenty of holes in the cap. To allow air to flow into the bottle and keep the water free flowing, cut a hole near the cap in the handle – not to close to the cap, otherwise the water spills out there, too.
I make these and donate them to community and school garden projects. Makes a nice cheapo gift for any gardener who doesn't like to drag out the power tools themselves. Sure, laundry detergent bottles are #2 recyclable. But if you have to have those bottles anyway, reuse is better than recycle.
