The French 2L milk bottle is a perfect bottle for making a mini Kratky for lettuce or other leafy vegetables!

Cutting the bottle about 10-11cm from the top, make it fit perfectly when turned around and pushed in.

The hole on top of the bottle is also perfect for the coco peat units available at the shops to germinate the seeds.

Have about 8 bottles saved, started to make them ready for putting them inside the 2 level IKEA Växer units with 16W lamp on each level.
I can put i in each level during germination, but it won't be good for more than 4 or maybe 5 heads when they grow bigger.

2 units will provide all the lettuce I consume and will easily replace with new seedlings as I eat them.

Total material cost, 50 euro cent, plus electricity. It will light up the living room so I don't need to have lights on all the time.

Will post more info about the fertilizer and the setting of it later.
