Building a bottle tower for container gardening

2011- My friend Gilbert VAN DAMME who helped me to set up this bottle tower kitchen garden (Photo WVC)

A simple method to produce fresh food for every family in the drylands, particularly interesting to provide vitamins and mineral elements to the malnourished children.  Saving water while producing masses of vegetables and herbs.

2011 - Plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs for the daily meals produced with a minimum of water in the vicinity of the house. An inexpensive dream for poor families in drought-affected areas ? No, a reality to be achieved by recycling discarded bottles. Who wouldn't like to have such a garden ? It's affordable to every single hungry person on earth, even in the refugee camps. (Photo WVC)

Plastic bottles stacked into a bottle tower can be recycled to set up a vertical kitchen garden at home. The bottle towers are used for container gardening of vegetables and herbs. How to build such a tower is shown in different steps in my video (see link above).
