Ingredient
The coir, fertilizer, seeds you can buy at the plant store.
How to grow hydroponic vegetables with plastic bottles
You cut the coir, mix it with fertilizer and moisten the coir. Put the coir in the egg tray, then sow the seeds into the coir. Water coconut coir daily for rapid growth.
Cut the bottle
Use scissors to punch a small hole in the top of the bottle. Carefully puncture the plastic with the blade and cut the body of the bottle into 2 different parts in the ratio ½ .
Cut the bottle cap
Use a knife to cut the bottle cap into 2 parts, if you cannot cut them apart, you can also punch a large hole in the bottle handle. Be careful because the plastic bottle cap is quite hard, you can get injured.
Mesh net into the bottle
Cut some mesh and cover it over the mouth of the bottle. Then screw the bottle cap over the mesh, secure it and cut off the excess.
Complete the water bowl part
Your tree’s roots need support, especially those that are above the water. Otherwise the roots will stick together and won’t absorb as much oxygen.
Cut and tie one end of the net, so that the net can cover the top of the bottle.
Use tape to fix everything together in order, the bottom of the bottle, the mesh pocket, the top of the bottle upside down like a funnel. Keep the mesh bag at a certain distance, do not pull the mesh bag to touch the bottle cap.
3 Planting plants in hydroponic pots
Prepare the first growing water solution
When the plant is moved to a large pot of water, it will need more support for growth, so the first water is always the most important.
You dissolve the fertilizer into the water, and at the same time crush the dried eggshells into the fertilizer water.
Planting seedlings
Gently scoop out your seedling, place the root in the funnel, and gently press it down onto the bottle cap. Remove the coconut fiber clinging to the roots so that the roots are enough to fill the bottle cap.
Pour some water into the funnel and allow it to drain underneath to help clean the roots while pushing a portion of the roots down below.
If you do not germinate the plants first, you can put coir mixed with fertilizer into the bottle cap hopper and start sprouting here.
Finished product
Collect and recycle as many plastic bottles as you can to give your family a hydroponic vegetable garden without having to worry about pests or weeding every day. BANH KHANH wishes you success.
