Homemade solar irrigation
Homemade solar watering with bottles is a simple and inexpensive technique to keep your plants hydrated using plastic bottles and solar energy. The solar energy heats the water in the small bottle, causing it to evaporate. The vapor condenses on the walls of the large bottle and drips to the ground, watering the plants constantly. This method is ideal for small orchards and gardens, as it is easy to implement and helps reuse materials.
