Turning a 1L yogurt container into a mini Kratky reservoir!

Bought a few yogurt from Lidl in the past few months and saved the container for using them in my gardening experiments.

They are god, food grade, pretty solid and last a long time, but they are almost transparent and cause algae growth on the roots of the plants.

Used to cover them with black paint, but then they get hot in the sun and adding aluminum foil to them works for a while but they get ripped and cracked.

This time, put a coat of black paint on the jar, and cut small pieces of aluminum foil to put on the wet paint to sit tight and stick to the container.

This say, it going to be isolated for sunshine and reflective for the heat.

Made r of them before taking pictures, so this is the last ones. I ran out of containers so it's time to visit #Lidl again to buy some more yogurt.
