Upside-down plastic bottle

• 1). Cut the bottom off a two-quart plastic bottle. If it held soap or detergent, clean it out.
  
  
• 2). Use your drill to make four to eight small holes in the cap. The more holes you drill, the faster the water will drip out.
  
  
• 3). Bury one-third to one-half of the bottle upside down by the plant you want to water. Press dirt around it and it and fill it with water.
  
  

Right-side-up plastic bottle

• 1). Drill small holes in the bottom of a clean, two-quart plastic bottle or jug. These holes should be just large enough to let the water leach slowly into the soil without clogging.
  
  
• 2). Put small rocks in the bottom of the bottle to give it stability. Fill the jug with water and screw the top back on.
  
  
• 3). Put the bottom of the jug near the plant you want to water
  
  

Plastic garden hose

• 1). Drill or poke holes in an old or cheap garden hose. Space the holes to match the plants you want to water.
  
  
• 2). Cut scraps of fabric into strips and place them around the holes. This will help control the speed of the drip.
  
  
• 3). Cap the end of the hose and turn the water on low when you want to water the plants.
