Last year, Grady's GreenLiving tips shared information on how to create a bottle garden: an ecosystem in a bottle or series of bottles that is the perfect size for an apartment patio or balcony. Read below for a reminder, step by step guide on how to create bottle garden this summer:
- Select an appropriate container: This really depends on the size of the plant desired. For small plants, like basil or a small flower, a two liter bottle should suffice. Bigger plants in turn would require a bigger container, like an old laundry detergent bin.
- Cut holes for drainage: Any flower pot has a hole cut on the bottom for drainage. Do not forget to do this for your bottle garden or the plant will quickly deteriorate due to improper drainage.
