It doesn’t take a really long time before the whole skip plugged up and don’t let the water out anymore. Someone had suggested partially filling the bottle with batting or with strips of T-shirts to keep it from filling with mud
Great idea! Thanks for the feedback.
Companies that make rain gardens cover long plastic piping with holes in it with a sock-like cover, so an old sock might do the job in this case. Do any of you use battery screwdrivers like the one shown on other projects? With kids?
Great idea!
We have used the battery screwdrivers with other projects, but we don’t recommend kids using these on their own…they should let the adults do this part.
In humid areas, may want to consider putting the srew-top on to avoid having a mosquito breeding site. It can always be removed to refill the bottle.
Good point to note! Thanks for the helpful feedback.
To keep out the soil, try making a sleeve for the bottle with a cut-off leg from an old pair of nylon hose.
That is a really good point!
Thanks for the feedback!
I must say it was hard to find your website
in search results. You write great posts but you
should rank your blog higher in search engines.
If you don’t know how to do it search on youtube: how to rank a website
Marcel’s way
Thanks!
I rapped a peace of garden fabric around mind to keep the holes free of dirt
Love, Love, Love all of this!! In Hot, Hot Texas and we need all the help we can get!! I wondered too if you filled the bottle with small pee gravel if this would help the bottle not to collapse while you are trying to barring the bottle in heavier soil. We have some rocky or clay soil here but our bushes can handle it, but still need water.
Very Interesting. Will be setting up my Bottle Drop Soon
