Just a thought out there. I have limited funds, so the money I use for gardening I have to pick and choose what I purchase with those funds. While I would love to purchase those for the ease of use I need the money for more expensive gardening supplies. The water bottle has a unique design in that you can cut the dome off the top, cap it, drill holes in the cap invert it and place over the bottle full of water. No cost option that frees up my finds for other things (like your worm bin system)......I'm loving your channel
I was thinking of doing the same thing!. Why waste that bit of plastic that is cut off. A bit of foam which fits snugly in the inverted cap will do the trick.
Very cute net pots. I saw Khang Starr do this a lot on his channel (he uses rockwool instead of coconut coir) so I knew this was doable. I was shopping tonight and saw a kit using the glass Ball quart jars to grow herbs. I loved the net cup they used in there and they had this wicking thing that looks like a ribbon that drapes down from the net cup to moisten the net cup. I'm going to try to do something like that and see if I can get lettuce and basil to grow.
I just cut the top (just above the lable, just enough to sit in the bottle) off the bottle, flip it upside down, rubberband/tape a small cut of coffee filter around the hole.. put some coco coir/perlite in the top, water and nutrients in the bottom, and grow my herbs on the windowsill.. Check the water weekly.. Cheap, no cost for net cups, does a good job👍 If it slips, use a rubberband around the bottle, under the lid to squish the bottle in a little.
Thank you for the great video. I am going to use this with a gardening club during virtual learning. It would be great if you had a follow-up video of how it grows and the next transition.
Nice, CZ 1" is my go-to. I cut 1.5" rockwool in 1/4's. I do it more for cost savings. Funny, I tried to seed something in coco... packed it too tight, will try again.
So, $13 for 100!!! of those net pots is pretty dope. I was going to write a comment about just using old k cups from the ladies at work and my mother's house, but, now I think i'll just buy some!
Use slightly larger bottle and there is no need to cut top off. 1 liter water bottles, up to 64 oz juice bottles, and even 1 gallon bottles, fit perfect with no need to cut top off. I also take 1" rockwool cube and cut into quarters, great fit.
So, I bought some of these because... adorable. And now I am wondering how to actually make them practical. I have a square plastic basket that holds 24 water bottles perfectly, and now they all have little net cups in them, and they're a regular little army of potential plant growers. I'm thinking about sticking a chunk of rock wool in the cups and starting tomato seeds or something. Maybe not the most efficient, but another way to repurpose all the plastic bottles that stack up, and use their powers for good. I think the air pruning of the seedlings will be beneficial, and I'll plunk the whole root/rock wool mass into the bed when it comes time to transplant. Can't hurt to give it a try, eh? Thanks for your videos!
I just found this channel and I wanna say I love that it's a guy doing the video and not just a girl! I've literally heard dozens of time "Gardening is for girls" like wtf? That doesn't even make sense lol XD but anyways thanks for the video! Very helpful :D
I am new to this whole kratky thing but I have seen others paint or spray paint their bottles. I am currently heading into winter, so I will experiment with deepest darkest black, but grey may be a better option in summer
Wow! Amazing ideas. Always love your videos. Have a lot of soda bottles, fruits packaging laying around the house. Will use them to grow many plants in high rise. 👍👍👍
I been experimenting with cotton balls for starting seeds. Place them in q little net pot, Insert my seeds, wet the cotton and place in sealed container. So that way I just pop in my reservoir and plants good to go. Way cheaper than rockwool.
A great idea indeed! Thanks for sharing this video. It will really help especially those who want to start hydroponics. Happy planting. Happy growing. God bless😇💚
awesome video. Ive watched a lot of how to videos for hydroponic gardening and hands down this little video was perfect. This is going to be my first project on my road to learning this. I don't even have to buy anything! I have everything i need right now to go set it up. Thanks for a well done video. New Fan here:)
Hey Kev ,its Kev from the UK lol , I have looked on amazon and a handfull of other sites but the way things are at the moment it is hard to find answers , if you could recommend or know of any all in one neutreint solution .many thanks
I should have asked this week's ago. Lollllllllllllllllllllllll! I know nada about plants. We did these in my classroom. What do we do once they have roots?! Lol. Do we just plant them like this, or do we cut them out and plant them? Do they stay in the bottles? (Ahhhhhh!) Help! :) FYI, they loved this!
Yo man, this is the coach.. hit me up on SDFish.. looks like I am headed to the IV (Imperial Valley) thursday night, looks like.. fishing has been VERY good.. could work on some skills..
waste of money and plastic, you can literally achieve the same results just sticking it in a glass of water then planting it in your garden when it has roots
That is the cutest little baby net pot I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing this!

Good now I know what to do with my Perrier bottles!
First video I've watched for diy hydroponics...one word epic thanks
Ive been able to have ferns and iveys relly do well with a simple hydroponic system like this
You could also use those coffee pods that are a one time use
Excellent idea 👍🏾
oh, good, now we know what to do with them.
Thank you sooooo much im 70 amd this is great to lnow
Jayden Shepherd This is what I do!
Dude, I have about 30 of those doing nothing right now
I've been thinking about getting into this since the 2,000s.

Looking forward to try this! Thank you.
I like cotton balls
I'm SHARING THIS TO ALL MY FRIENDS... BY POSTING IT, VERY INFORMATIVE.... AMAZING TUTORIAL... 👍👍👍
I just cut the top (just above the lable, just enough to sit in the bottle) off the bottle, flip it upside down, rubberband/tape a small cut of coffee filter around the hole.. put some coco coir/perlite in the top, water and nutrients in the bottom, and grow my herbs on the windowsill..

Cheers so much and everyone else with your great ideas👍❤
So, $13 for 100!!! of those net pots is pretty dope. I was going to write a comment about just using old k cups from the ladies at work and my mother's house, but, now I think i'll just buy some!
Yeah solid deal!
I was thinking of using k cups or the little creamer cups also. If I did how many holes/openings would i need to make?
I have a question as a rookie at hydroponics. My question is how much nutrients solution should I be adding for seedlings ?
Use slightly larger bottle and there is no need to cut top off. 1 liter water bottles, up to 64 oz juice bottles, and even 1 gallon bottles, fit perfect with no need to cut top off. I also take 1" rockwool cube and cut into quarters, great fit.

Thanks for your videos!
I'd use them as a seed starter or a cloner, for sure. Smart idea!
Could you post a photo of your 24 bottle setup?
This video is nice and helpful
TIP. You can also use plastic drink bottles to make homemade plant pots. Also there’s a few sizes which is convenient.
How much water and nutrient do you have to put and when do you put it and when do you change it
You can use tiny bottles which stores small amount of water & nutrients instead of a huge bottle
I just found this channel and I wanna say I love that it's a guy doing the video and not just a girl! I've literally heard dozens of time "Gardening is for girls" like wtf? That doesn't even make sense lol XD but anyways thanks for the video! Very helpful :D
Appreciate you noticing that!
Can we just put aluminum foil to cover the water. Will this also help in making ng water stay a little bit cool when expose in sun
I am new to this whole kratky thing but I have seen others paint or spray paint their bottles. I am currently heading into winter, so I will experiment with deepest darkest black, but grey may be a better option in summer
Can this work for soda bottles as well?
Wow! Amazing ideas. Always love your videos.

Thanks for sharing this video.
It will really help especially those who want to start hydroponics.
Happy planting. Happy growing.
God bless😇💚
can you do this starting from a seed?
How could I 'DIY' my own hydroponic nutrient solution? Thanks, great video.
What's the size of the net pot?
You solved my problem. Thank you very much mate. Love it. :D
would this work without the soil? can you have the cutting hanging just above the water and allow it to evaporate straight onto the suspended cutting?
Use a yogurt pottle with some holes cut into it to seat the plant and a 2.25L cola or similar bottle as the water/food source...
Yes. I was thinking that also. A sub for the net pots. Thanks to CZ for the sponsorship.
@@HollisSankar I tried the idea and it works...

hello kabayan! so useful info!
Can I use leca instead of coco coir and worm casting?
Very informative video 👌👌👌
Would you have to keep this under a grow light until it roots??
Beautiful, freshwater no nutrition?
Nice easy
Please do kratky hydroponic videos.
Cool
I will try one day
Thank for sharing
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed!
you need a ginsu knife, LOL - no shop or garden should be without one. PLUS, you can slice tomatoes with it!
Definitely do
I just put my cuttings into a bottle of water and they all seemed to root just fine.
Same here
Are you worried about the water sitting and the plastic leeching into the plant?
Very useful tips
Hey Kev ,its Kev from the UK lol , I have looked on amazon and a handfull of other sites but the way things are at the moment it is hard to find answers , if you could recommend or know of any all in one neutreint solution .many thanks
hi im kinda very new to this, can i ask what kind of soil did you use? And did you put something in it? thank you a lot :)
Plastic shot glasses also work
The soil is moist. Right?
Would this work with perlite?
Would you use rooting hormone here? BTW love you and your videos.
yap, u need hydroponic nutrient
Hello, do you by any chance have a list of seeds which germinate the fastest? Thank you!
You can also use an extended water bottle cap with holes in it instead of the net pot
Nice idea.
You could also use bottle cuzies.
thanks! can you show us how to make or mix nutrient solution for hydro, thanks again bro! morepower!
Awesome your video is featured on google. What kind of light is behind you to the right? Is it a DIY LED? Or special model?
Thanks
Alex
I should have asked this week's ago. Lollllllllllllllllllllllll! I know nada about plants. We did these in my classroom. What do we do once they have roots?! Lol.

Love it... thanks!
I just did over 100 pepper and tomatoes this way
Sooo....the kratky method?
I use something similar in my fish pond. It's great. Can I get these netpots in Australia?
What exactly name off that whitet little pot
Net pot
Nice - pre ordered your book on Amazon :)
Thank you!!!!
woah, im here so early im under 100 views ! hectic.
love from down under mate.
Love it in Oz! Best wishes
Love from up top
I'll use it on my Salad?? Your funny!
Why doesn't your sponsor change the design of his net pod so that it fits directly into the top of the bottle?
what about Bisfenol A (BPA)? isnt it going te leak in to the nutrient water
Not in the lifespan of this plant
Couldnt you just diy the rooting pot with a little creamer cup with some slits cut in it?
Nice
Niceeeee 👍👍🌻🌻🤗🤗
Nope, CZ shorted my net pot order by almost half.
HELLO MY SCIENCE TEACHER IS USING THIS VIDEO BC HE THINKS ITS GOOD OK BYE
I don’t have a net pot🤧😭😢🤧🤧
Yo man, this is the coach.. hit me up on SDFish.. looks like I am headed to the IV (Imperial Valley) thursday night, looks like.. fishing has been VERY good.. could work on some skills..
I can be in for this!
@@epicgardening hit me up over there.. let's do it..
i just hang them in asprin water
Its will not grow, bcos the stem is still young, cant produce roots.. better pick basil has old stem.
waste of money and plastic, you can literally achieve the same results just sticking it in a glass of water then planting it in your garden when it has roots
Like I said, you can grow a plant to maturity in this if you've got some nutrients
not really hydroponic though since your using soil
U look like the actor from ATYPICAL. 🤔
I've heard this a ton!
