  1. Walmart has these great water cooler bottles for just a few dollars each. You can use those bottles to make a self watering planter that won’t need any attention for about a week or longer. This is a great one to make if you happen to have a few of those water bottles on hand. Plus, they are a bit larger than standard plastic bottles so you don’t have to add water as often and the base makes a wonderful planter for several different plants.
