Easy Tips/Steps to Make Self-watering Garden Planters:
1. Take a milk jug/ any plastic bottle and cut it in half below the handle.
2. Press the top of the jug - remove the cap and press it in floral foam about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Twist the top half of the jug to one side until the floral foam breaks.
This will create a small plug in the bottom which will not let the soil pour out.
