Inspiration! Soda bottle sub-irrigation planters, prettier than you’d think!

I have a plan. I am not sure when the plan will come to fruition–it may take a week, or two weeks or even a month, but I can guarantee you that before the summer is over I will turn some of these:

The above photo was borrowed (stolen?) from Chris at  Mapleton-Bklyn . Not only does Chris  write nice clean, tidy, posts (very easy to read!), he is also planting all kinds of cool stuff  on his building’s roof top.  I am very inspired by his cute little soda pop garden. I think the clear plastic looks really cool, and not too DIY or recycled just for recycling’s sake.  (I like to do things that are environmentally responsible, but I like them to be aesthetically pleasing too!)

Chris’ soda pop  garden was inspired by  sub-irrigation prostelytizer/ blogger Bob Hyland of Inside Urban Green. You can read his step by step instructions on how to make one of these soda bottle planters here.
