Hi Bob,

I think the link is messed up. It sends me to all your blog posts tagged "container" (?) instead of the flickr page.

Thanks Bruce! The link was ok, my format wasn't. HTML is so much fun...not. ;-)

Hello Bob
I've just found your bottle planters and they look great. May i ask a very, very, very simple question that probably shouldn't even be asked because it's so simple?... How are you watering the planter? Do you lift the top half of the planter out and pour the water into the bottom half?

Regards, Tom

Thanks Tom, The question has been asked before and you're reminding me to answer it in the instructions.

Some people burn a hole (1/2"-3/4") in the side of the reservoir as a fill inlet. I prefer not to and simply lift the top out of the bottom as you suggested.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi. I'm looking for a list of vegetables that will grow to full maturity in a 2 liter bottle SIP. If I am going to have to transplant to a larger SIP (like the 5 gallon bucket model) as I suspect, I'd just as soon start with the larger one, I think. I really like the repurposing of the bottles, and I'd like to know what is worth planting in them.
