With infinite microplastics
Genuine question, not at all an attack, but what would the difference be between this and a regular plastic plant pot?
I’m not a materials scientist but you would think the edges of the cut holes are shedding particles in a larger degree than an intact pot. Wouldn’t want that in something you’re planning to ingest. My comment was made largely in jest, but I still think there’s some truth to it, and we will look back on our plastic use with dread in the future.
Ok doomer
im not so quick to put this down, it will work. I was also a little turned off by the plastic bottle, but just because I find them junky and gross.
a glass demijohn would be so much nicer, but then you’d need a diamond hole saw… one for ceramic tiles might work

Can’t spell jugaad without jug, after all (see manifesto).
I will say I agree with your distaste for plastics, and try to avoid it around foodstuffs. I think @rwdf is likely right, and we will look back on our plastic use with dread in the future. It’s just to ubiquitous now that we don’t even think of it.
But I’m not here to rain on anyone’s parade. This is a great example of thrift and self reliance.

Youve got it right pretty much. The top part is an old milk jug ive cut the bottom off, and poked a small hole in the cap. This is because i noticed that when watering directly on the soil, the high water flow would dislodge a lot of the dirt and it woud fall out of the holes. By filling up the jug and letting it drip slowly through the hole in the cap that doesnt happen. Also yea the rope was for carrying. I wouldnt hang it from there in case it ripped (it actually ripped while i was moving it one day but thankfully it wasnt that high)
