Methods of using plastic bottles in a summer cottage.

Flowerbed Borders

A convenient and practical solution is to make a “fence” for flower beds or vegetable beds. To implement the idea, you need bottles of approximately the same size, filled with sand and with closed lids. This border prevents soil erosion and looks neat and unusual.

Garden figures

To create garden decor you will need 5-liter plastic “barrels”, acrylic paints and scissors. You can cut out any figures, decorate them with appliques, paint them – it all depends on the imagination of the artist.

Garden paths

A simple and inexpensive way to make garden paths that does not require additional costs. Here you need sand and carefully cut off bottoms of bottles, which are laid out on the sand and tightly tamped.

“Hanging Gardens”

A simple idea with a loud name involves horizontal placement of plastic bottles with plants on a vertical surface or using a rope system. To do this, fill the bottles with soil, make a hole in the side, plant flowers or greenery and attach to a wall or fence.

Drip irrigation

A relevant and popular watering option, which is often used by experienced summer residents. There are many ways, the simplest is to make small holes in the bottom of the bottle, fill it with water and dig it into the ground between the plants.

Greenhouses

A serious, practical and economical solution – greenhouse walls made of plastic bottles. As a rule, bottles are either strung on slats or made of sheet construction.

Containers for seedlings

Cut off the top of the bottle, make small holes in the bottom – the container is ready. It needs to be filled with soil and the future harvest can be planted.

Flower pot

Making a flower pot is completely identical to the method with a container for seedlings. But, here you can add a little decorativeness – decorate with beads, paint with acrylic paint, etc.

Gazebo

Fundamental and simple – serious construction of a summer cottage gazebo from scrap materials. Plastic bottles are filled with sand and the frame of the gazebo is built using mortar. But advanced craftsmen do without cement, using fasteners and wire.

Shovels, scoops, broom

Cutting a scoop or a shovel out of a bottle — what could be easier? Such equipment can be made in any size, provide for different ways of attaching the handles – all preferences are feasible.

Sprinkler for the garden

A brilliant idea – a sprinkler for the garden from an old bottle. There is nothing easier – cut holes in the side of the container and connect the neck to the hose.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated – using plastic bottles at the dacha and in everyday life can be not only practical, but also decorative. In addition, all of the above methods allow you to significantly save money on arranging your dacha and make the area unique and unusual.
