How To Construct A Tiny Greenhouse Out Of Plastic Bottles?

Building a plastic bottle greenhouse is a rewarding and sustainable project that can be done in just six easy steps. By collecting empty plastic bottles, you can create a variety of greenhouses, ideal for growing single, short, shallow plants. This method helps create the “greenhouse effect” that young plants love, keeping both seedlings and cuttings in warmth and high.

Creating a DIY water bottle greenhouse is also easy. You simply need to collect and clean old plastic water bottles, remove the bottom of the bottles, and stack them on top of each other to create walls and a roof. A plastic bottle greenhouse is the perfect garden addition for those who could do with a greenhouse but don’t have the money for one and are concerned about the growing amount of plastic.

To create a mini greenhouse using plastic bottles, gather supplies such as plastic bottles (soda bottles work well), scissors or a sharp knife, and plastic. To build a greenhouse that is 8′ x 6′, you will need approximately 1400 empty 2-liter (40-oz) plastic bottles.

To build a plastic bottle greenhouse for your community garden, school, or allotment, follow these steps:

1. Gather heaps of used plastic bottles. 2 liter bottles are ideal, and around 1,500 are needed for a large sized greenhouse.

2. Cut the bottles into squares and stack them on top of each other to create walls and a roof.

3. Attach the plastic bottles to the frame using screws, nails, or zip ties. This process is relatively cheap and easy, making it an affordable and sustainable way to grow plants year-round.
