No more waiting to start your seeds outside!  Thanks to this DIY greenhouse, you’ll be able to get a big jump start on growing season!  You’ll never have to buy an expensive greenhouse kit from the store again!

What You’ll Need:

  • Empty 2 Liter Bottle, cleaned and rinsed out
  • Sharp Scissors
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Rubber Band
  • Potting Soil
  • Seeds

What You’ll Do:

  1. Rinse and throughly clean out an empty 2 Liter Bottle.
  2. Using scissors, cut 2 Liter bottle in half horizontally.
  3. Grab the bottom half of the 2 Liter Bottle and cut a 1 inch deep v-shaped notch into the rim. (See Photo Above)
  4. Using plastic wrap, fold a piece into an approx. 3 inch square with 2 layers thick.
  5. Unscrew the bottle lid and fasten the plastic wrap square over the top of the bottle with a rubber band.
  6. Poke several air holes into the plastic wrap using a fork.
  7. Fill bottom half of your 2 Liter bottle with potting soil.
  8. Plant your seeds and add just enough water until soil is moist.
  9. Using your thumb, press in on the v-shaped notch and place the top of the 2 Liter bottle over the bottom. (If the top doesn’t fit over the bottom try making your v-shaped notch bigger)
  10. Place 2 Liter Bottle Greenhouse in a warm area of your home that gets plenty of bright filtered daylight.
  11. There is no need to water your seeds… the moisture in the soil and additional moisture from the greenhouse above will keep the soil moist.
  12. Watch your seeds grow, and once your seedlings are well established and ready, you can begin hardening them off to prepare them for transplanting outside!
