In former postings I described already the possibilities of growing vegetables in plastic bottles, e.g.:

Today, I bring you some nice pictures of strawberries growing in such plastic bottles. Please look at the healthy condition of the flowering plants, bearing young, ripening fruits. I strongly believe that people in the drylands (but in fact everyone) can use this method to grow food crops with a minimum of water and fertilizer. Massive use of this kind of containers can help us to limit plastic waste, as also plastic bags can easily be used as containers for gardening in the vicinity of the house (and later on buried in the soil).
Why shouldn’t you set up a trial with this “good idea” ?

Excellent root development in the humid potting soil within the bottles
Be so kind to inform me on the results you obtained with your trials and send me some pictures.
