Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you yes you that today we are talking about
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
HOW:
1. For each planter, mark a line 5 inches from the bottle's base. Use the utility knife to puncture the bottle at the mark, then use scissors to cut all the way around the bottle at the mark.
2. Remove the label, using the label remover or vegetable oil to get rid of any extra adhesive.
3. With the cap in place, invert the bottle's top portion and insert it into the base. Fill it part way with soil.
4. Transplant a seedling, adding soil and pressing it gently until the seedling is secured in the planter.
5. Lift out the soil-filled top portion and remove the cap. Add about an inch of water to the planter's base, enough to cover the lip of the inverted bottle top when you replace it.
6. Give the seedling some more water to help it get established, then place it in a sunny spot.
7. Following the care instructions that came with the herb, add water as needed to the planter's base.
I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
