Bottle tower assembly

Image
You can use 5-7 bottles in one tower depending on the size of the bottle. Drill a hole in the bottom of the bottles using 44mm or higher hole saw. In the last bottle drill a hole using 19 mm hole saw. Slide the 20 mm pipe through the bottles with the smaller hole at the top. Make a small hole through the neck and pipe of the lower bottle using the pointed tip soldering iron.  Insert the steel pin or nail to lock the bottles in position. You can bend the pin so that it does not slide out. Using the pointed tip soldering iron cut slots on both sides of the bottle for planting. Paint the bottles as per your choice. Your bottle tower is ready for use. You can water from the top and water will tricle down from the lower end.
