Waste disposal is one of the most acute problems facing the owners of suburban areas, especially since most suburban communities, in principle, are not equipped with garbage containers. Undoubtedly, paper and part of household garbage can be burned, and organics can be buried in the beds or sent straight to compost pit. But what to do with the well-known plastic bottles, which are strictly forbidden to burn in a stove or fireplace, and it is useless to bury, since it will take more than one hundred years to decompose plastic? There is only one way out - to use it for good. How to use plastic bottles on the farm will be discussed in this publication.

The use of PET containers at their summer cottage

What is a plastic container? This is, first of all, polymer material and finished containers. At this angle, any summer resident with a creative vision and straight arms can make a lot of useful household appliances out of an ordinary PET bottle, create elements of garden decor and turn empty containers into necessary things.

The main advantage plastic containers is the lack of value. In addition, PET is light, flexible, resistant to weathering and UV radiation, and can be processed perfectly. A plastic bottle filled with water can withstand enormous external pressure and can act as a heat accumulator. And most importantly: in any variation, all plastic containers have a threaded section and a lid. And this is very important for any master to do, which will help fasten products, if the need arises. Consider several options for using plastic containers in the garden.

Plastic bottles for watering the garden

The first thing you can use ready-made PET containers for is for irrigation. Irrigation of the site is generally a sore point for most summer residents, especially for those who receive water on a schedule or visit suburban area exclusively on weekends. In such a situation, useless plastic bottles will help, which will help to create for the entire site without any financial costs. Consider three easy-to-implement options for creating a drip irrigation system based on plastic bottles of various capacities.

Simple Root Irrigation System

In order to dosed and automatically water the plants, you will need:

• PET containers with a volume of 2 liters, one bottle - one plant.
• foam rubber (any trim).

Pour 4/5 of the water into each container. Insert a piece of foam rubber into the neck instead of a cork. Place the bottle under the plant so that the neck is in close proximity to the root of the plant. As you empty, just add water to the containers.

Drip irrigation

For this irrigation system, the size and shape of the containers does not matter. According to summer residents: the more - the better. Bottles need to cut off the bottom. Make 3-5 holes in the cork with a hot awl or thin drill, 1-2 mm in diameter. Screw the cork tightly onto the neck.

Dig such a container vertically (neck down) near each plant and fill it with water. Such a stationary root irrigation system requires only timely filling with water.

Suspended irrigation system

In this option, whole bottles should be used, with a capacity of 2 to 5 liters. depending on the reliability of the fastening system. As when creating a drip system, make several holes in the cork, with a diameter of 1 mm.

Now you need to build a support. At different ends of the beds, horns should be dug in, on top of which put a jumper (rail, beam). Hang the filled containers upside down from the top bar.

To prevent water from eroding the earth, the place where drops of water fall should be mulched.

The advantages of an irrigation system from plastic bottles are undeniable:

• the soil is moistened directly in the root zone of the plant;
• irrigation is done with sun-warmed water;
• the possibility of adding fertilizers directly to the water;
• application variability.

But the most important advantage of such watering is that it does not require the presence of a person.

Agricultural technology using PET bottles

Any container can be used to grow greens. The main thing is to ensure timely watering and avoid stagnation of water in the lower part of the tank. This can be done by creating from plastic bottles, which will not take up much space, but will decorate your fence, balcony railing, house wall.

Vertical garden with horizontal bottles

For such a building you will need:

• PET bottles, capacity 2-5l;
• soft wire.

1/3 of the side of the bottle is cut out. The cork is screwed onto the neck. On the opposite side of the cutout, an awl (nail, drill) makes a mass of drainage holes.

The bottles are filled with a substrate, inside of which the seedlings or seeds of the plant are located. With a soft wire, an impromptu pot is attached to a vertical surface. Mounting of the remaining containers can be done under each other or in a checkerboard pattern.

Garden from vertically installed PET containers

This design is more complicated than the previous one, but much more efficient and is relatively autonomous. So, to create such a design, you will need:

• PET bottles, volume 1-3 l.
• rubber or silicone hose ½ inch.
• a piece of sewer pipe with plugs, diameter - at the discretion of the owner.

The bottles are cut approximately in half. The upper part will go to create a vertical garden, the lower one will be used to create decorations, which will be discussed below. The tops of the bottles are attached one below the other with the neck down. A hose with holes for irrigation is laid through each vertical row. Free space filled with earth or substrate. The upper part of the hoses is fixed in the ebb with the help of necks and corks from plastic bottles.

Water is supplied to the system from the water supply, and the sewer pipe section will play the role of a liquid supply capacity. This design allows rational use of water for drip irrigation. A vertical garden made of plastic bottles will not require any space or large financial costs from the summer resident. You can always make such a design from waste containers that is best suited directly to your dacha.

In the section of agrotechnical crafts, only options for creating a vertical garden were considered. In fact, there are dozens more ways to use TET containers for agricultural purposes. From plastic bottles you can make light, plastic and durable containers that are widely used as pots, containers for seedlings.

PET bottles for decorating a summer cottage

Thanks to its properties, plastic containers have long been successfully used by our summer residents to create garden decor. Next, consider a few examples of the successful use of plastic bottles of various sizes in garden decoration.

Fencing beds and flower beds

Most simple design fences made of plastic containers - palisade. In order to make a solid fence of this design, you will need a mass of bottles of the same volume and shape filled with earth (sand, clay)

Now it's up to the small: we assemble the structure. We dig each container halfway into the ground, creating a “bottle palisade”. After erection. You can leave it as it is, or you can paint the resulting border in any color of the rainbow.

You can go in a simpler way: do not dig in the elements of the palisade, but fasten them together with adhesive tape.

The design is simply placed on the grass outlining the boundaries of a flower bed or garden bed.

garden path

For creating garden path you will need bottoms from PET bottles with a capacity of 2 liters.

• the soil is levelled.
• covered with a layer of wet sand, layer thickness 70-100 mm.

The bottoms are laid out on the future track and carefully driven into the sand until completely filled. The joints between the bottoms are covered with dry sand, and for better fixation - with a sand-cement mortar.

Flowers from PET bottles

Easy enough to decorate country cottage area It is possible with the help of "plantations" of plastic flowers.

Making such a composition is extremely simple: you just need to wake up your imagination, pick up a knife, a few plastic bottles and a coil of thick wire.

From the tapering part of the bottle, you can create beautiful flowers that will be used to create bouquets, decorate crafts for the home and garden.

Cut the neck lengthwise, forming six petals. Round each with scissors. We melt the edges of the petals over an open flame to give them volume. The inside of the flower can be cut out of plastic of a different color. We glue (sew) the structure with polymer glue or thin wire.

Animal figurines for garden decoration

The Internet is full of photos of funny animals made from plastic bottles. If you decide to decorate your garden with funny animals from PET containers, then the simplest option is funny pigs and bunnies.

Bunny is easy to do:

• in the tapering part, two cuts are made under the "ears";
• the ears themselves are cut from a plastic bottle.

The structure is assembled with glue.

Pigs are made in the same way, but only in a horizontal version. The main thing is to color your creation correctly and make it recognizable.

Household supplies from plastic bottles

What can be useful in the household for a domestic summer resident-gardener? Brooms, dustpans, pest traps, washbasins, various containers for storing small items. But a simple rope is recognized by most summer residents as one of the most functional and useful materials in the household.

PET bottle rope

A rope from a plastic bottle will help out in an unforeseen situation and will become an indispensable assistant to a summer resident. How to make a strong rope from a plastic bottle with your own hands? To create a tape from a PET bottle (on an industrial scale), you will need to make the simplest machine, consisting of:

• blades from a clerical knife;
• 4-8 metal washers with an outer diameter of 25-30 mm and a thickness of 2 mm;
• 2 bolts with nuts, diameter 4-6 mm, length 40-50 mm;
• board (piece of plywood, chipboard), 16-25 mm thick.

We assemble the structure. We drill through holes in the board for the bolts. Pucks will be put on them. The distance between the bolts should be such that between the washers there is a distance equal to half the diameter of the washer. Now install the washers on the bolts. The height of the "pyramid" from the stand will correspond to the width of the tape. We put the blade on the upper washer, cover it with a washer, fix it with nuts.

To get the tape, cut off the bottom of the bottle (it is useful for making garden decor), push the edge of the bottle between the blade and stand.

There are a lot of options for using rope from plastic bottles. A strong and lightweight tape is used by domestic gardeners for tying vegetables, trees, creating supports for climbing plants, weaving furniture, braiding handles of garden tools, etc. A feature of such a tape is shrinkage when exposed to high temperature. When heated, the PET tape knot self-tightens!

garden broom

According to its performance characteristics, a broom made of plastic bottles is not inferior to purchased analogues. For self-creation such a useful product in the household will require:

• 7 PET bottles, 2 l;
• stalk from a shovel;
• wire;
• two screws (nails);
• awl, scissors, knife.

For six bottles, cut off the necks and bottom. Cut the strips on each blank with scissors, not reaching the top edge of 5-6 cm. The width of the strip is 0.5 cm. Cut off the bottom from the intact container (do not touch the neck!). Next, repeat the operation similar to the previous blanks.

We assemble the structure. We put the rest of the blanks on a bottle with a neck. We compress the resulting product from the sides and fix the position of the blanks with wire. It remains only to plant and fix the holder.

The plastic bottle broom is ready to use. The whole process is shown in detail in the figure.

Scoop from plastic containers

This product will be a great addition to a broom made of PET containers. Everything is simple here: take a plastic container and mark the shape of the future scoop with a marker.

Cut strictly along the line using a clerical knife. Such a scoop from a plastic canister will last a long time.

The simplest washstand

To make the simplest from a plastic bottle, you need to cut off the bottom of the container, turn it upside down, make holes for attaching to a vertical surface.

You can wash your hands by unscrewing the cork a little so that water flows through a loose connection.

Containers for storing small items

Any owner of a summer residence has a lot of little things in the household. One problem - they must all be sorted and available as needed. To store small things, you can easily make containers from plastic containers. Any one that is at hand will do:

1. We make a hole in the upper side part, the size of which should make it easy to get items out of the container.
2. We drill a hole in the cover and screw in a bolt with a diameter of 2 mm.
3. Place a washer under the head of the bolt.
4. On the reverse side, fix with a nut.

We assemble the structure. We run the ends of the wire section under the washer and form a loop. We screw the lid with a loop onto the container. Now it can be easily placed on a vertical surface. An ordinary nail can act as an element for hanging the container on a vertical surface.

If you use plastic containers from household chemicals or machine oil, then you can assemble a whole chest of drawers for storing small things in a similar way.

insect trap

Mosquitoes and flies are the eternal "neighbors" of man, which is almost impossible to get rid of. Nevertheless, their population can be reduced by using well-known PET containers as a trap material.

We cut off the tapering part of the plastic bottle, turn it over and insert it into the rest of the bottle with the neck down. Sugar syrup can be used as bait. If you add a little yeast to the composition, you can get rid of not only flies and ants, but also wild wasps.

A simple weather vane from a PET bottle will help to scare away birds from fresh crops, to drive out moles from the site.

The design is simple: we cut out and bend the side sections of the container in the form of blades. We put the resulting product on a thick wire or stick. The wind rotates the weather vane. A vibration is transmitted along the guide, which (according to experts) is very disliked by moles and birds are afraid.

Bird feeders

The simplest feeder personal plot, will attract birds that will help the owner of the summer cottage to fight pests and insects.

They are not difficult to make: it is enough to cut windows in the side of five-liter plastic bottles. The handle is useful for hanging the feeder on a branch.

Greenhouses from PET containers

, discussed above, can easily be done by any summer resident. But if you have experience in carpentry, then with the help of PET containers you can create an excellent greenhouse, without which it is impossible to grow an early harvest in our climatic zone.

Such structures have many advantages, of which the main one is low cost. PET is much stronger than polyethylene film and much cheaper than traditional polycarbonate. The construction of plastic bottles is warm and light. It can always be repaired by simply replacing the damaged element.

There are two technologies for the construction of greenhouses and arbors:

1. From plates.
2. from whole elements.

frame

Almost any material is suitable for its creation:

• Metal profile - durable and strong, but expensive.
• Wood is affordable and easy to process, but short-lived.
• PVC pipes You are a great option if you already have enough pipes and fittings that you don't have to buy.

In any case, if you decide to make a greenhouse from plastic bottles with your own hands, then make the frame from the material that is most accessible to you.

It should be understood: metal carcass will require the creation of a capital foundation, which significantly increases the cost of the project. The supporting structure made of PVC pipes does not need a foundation, but it needs to be strengthened to withstand gusts of wind.

Filling

As building material for enclosing structures, it is better to use the same PET bottles, with a capacity of 2 liters, from which the label must be removed.

For a greenhouse with dimensions of 1.5 by 2.5, from 400 to 600 PET elements may be required.

Construction technology

The greenhouse is assembled from elements that are collected from PET bottles. The bottom of each building element (bottle) is cut off. The elements are then stacked on top of each other, creating an impromptu "plastic log". To fasten this element, a cord or rail is pulled through the middle. The finished block is vertically fixed on the frame. The construction process continues until the frame is completely filled: in this way, the walls are recruited and the roof overlaps.

Buildings made from plastic bottles

More serious buildings can be built from PET containers than gazebos and greenhouses. Next, consider the method of erecting an outbuilding from plastic bottles, putting into practice the experience of Bolivian builders:

1. A pit is being dug and a foundation is being built.
2. We create a replacement for the brick, instead of which PET bottles of the same volume will be used. They are filled with sand, clay or earth, which is often left after digging a pit.
3. The elements are tied together and stacked in rows. For a bunch of rows, a sand-cement mortar is used.
4. A reinforcing mesh is laid between the rows.

After laying, only the necks of building elements remain without mortar. For additional fastening, builders recommend tying the necks together, creating a kind of plaster mesh. Now it remains only to carefully plaster the walls, hiding the material that was used for construction.

This technology can be used for the construction of capital buildings: fences, garages and one-story residential buildings, which, (according to the masters), are quite warm and strong.

In this publication, answers were given to the question of how plastic bottles can be used on the farm. In fact, a new application for this material is found every day, which cannot but please anyone. normal person, because plastic is practically not recycled due to low profitability. Giving a "second life" to PET containers, we cleanse the planet of garbage, which is simply buried in landfills or disposed of in incinerators, poisoning the environment.

Plastic bottles can breathe a second life into a garden plot.

Plastic bottles are readily available and inexpensive. In addition to the direct purpose, there are many incredible options for their use. Plastic as a way of decorating was to the taste of those who like to build something with their own hands. And this is not surprising - products made from it are quite durable, the bottle body bends effortlessly, the strength of the material is also pleasing. With your own hands and without problems, you can make incredible crafts for a summer residence, a garden, a front garden and an ordinary living space. So, the main task is to collect as many colorful and different-sized plastic bottles as possible, and the rest is fantasy.

The next similar bottle is inserted into a plastic bottle with a cut bottom until the required height is formed. All elements are strung on a wire passing through the neck, the neck of a green bottle without a bottom is attached to the top. Further, strips of green plastic are cut in equal parts and lean to the bottom, imitating palm foliage.
