Every year
my hubby and I use few of these in the spring, we use them to water our seed
trays, just-up seedlings and house plants. They are so easy to fill, carry and
pour, they don't leak or drip back down the spout like watering cans! The other
handy thing about them is that you can make one with a super fine/gentle spray
by using a small needle and one with a more substantial flow by using a bigger
needle. I need one for my house plants so I'll be using a bigger needle for this
DIY.
 |
Gather what you'll need, I
recommend using lighter because you need to
reheat the needle every second
time. |
 |
| The needle I
chose |
 |
| Heat the very end for a few
seconds |
 |
Pierce the milk bottle lid,
being careful not to get your fingers in the way! Reheat and repeat, remember
you can always add more holes after if there isn't enough water coming
out. |
You might look at your needle when your done and be cursing me but its OK
just heat the needle again and wipe it on some card or paper a few times and
it'll be back shiny and clean!
 |
| This is what mine looked like
when I was done |
 |
| No
drips! |
 |
| Perfect for small house plants
:) |
We keep a 3ltr one in the greenhouse with a finer
spray and this one in the kitchen, they last forever and when the bottle does
get a bit old, just swap the lid to a new one! We go through so much milk in our
house, I love it when we can re-use the bottles ourselves instead of sending
them away to be recycled.
Happy spring gardening :)
