In a previous article I described 10 ways to use old plastic bottles in the garden. But it was not all ways. Therefore, I decided to create another article that will describe still more features using this recycled material.
1. Washbasin
Plastic bottles are perfect to create a temporary sink. For them, there was even invented a special nozzle that is fitted in place of the cap. With her makeshift sink for convenience does not differ from the purchased.
To create a sink enough to cut off the bottom, turn the bottle upside down and attached to a pole or wall. Just try to make a hole not much capacity, otherwise the water will seep through the holes. This will lead to the fact that the wall will be constantly wet and start to rot. In addition, in flowing sink need to constantly add water.
It is said that a sink can be used even without a special nozzle. Just leave the cap on the neck, and when the need is water - slightly loosen it. This method allows even adjust the pressure. But, do not remove the lid too far, it may fall and you obolet.
There are craftsmen who make the nozzle on the neck of an old syringe. In this case, you do not have to buy, and the water supply will be much easier. But to be honest I have not tried to do so, so I will not write about it.
2. Holder Package
Canisters with a large neck can be adapted as a holder for bags or rags. The main difficulty is to correctly roll packages. The diameter of the bundle must be slightly larger neck. Otherwise, content or fall out or get stuck.
The holder can be made of the usual bottle. In such a case, it is necessary to cut the neck completely.
3. To repair the greenhouse
If you broke the glass in a greenhouse, and it can not be replaced (another glass, foil), then as a temporary solution, you can use the old bottles. Cut the bottom and neck, so that we get a smooth plastic cylinder. Cut the "tube", straighten the edges and iron to iron (via hard paper or cloth). As a result, we get a flat piece of transparent plastic. Several such patches can be bound together and used as a temporary replacement of glass.
The resulting squares best to stitch overlapping. So construction will not take place and purged. Moreover, the yarn can be used instead of wire or twine.
4. Fence for flower beds
Of bottles can make a beautiful fence for flower beds and walkways. To do this, you need to take two thick fishing line or wire, and then put on their bottles. The color, size and shape used recycled must be identical. Otherwise, the fence will look untidy.
Along the edges of the beds need to dig poles, between which are strung wire with bottles. bottle neck can be cut or buried in the ground.
5. To repel pests
can get a wonderful deterrent for birds and moles from a plastic bottle. Spinning the bottle creates a sound that really do not like these uninvited guests.
Make it a snap. The bottle sidewalls to be cut and bend them in the form of blades. The bottom slotted hole into which the wire is passing to the neck with a stopper. End of the wire is necessary to focus to a bottle to rotate freely. The container put pebbles, nuts or screws. In the wind, this design spins and deters pests.
