It works great because you can point right at the base of the little plant and not overwhelm it. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13793239920648658851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-13238411239589437922010-06-15T18:27:55.908-05:002010-06-15T18:27:55.908-05:00GREAT idea!

I like it more than the spray bottle because you can give them a good soaking.<br /><br />Diana,<br /><br />That sounds hilarious. <br /><br />Julie,<br /><br />Nope. But maybe if you use a water bottle cap that is a thicker plastic you'll have to. This is one of those smaller, thinner caps that take less plastic so it was easy to puncture.<br /><br />Lisa,<br />Glad you like it.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-75693810081037247922010-06-13T22:45:25.701-05:002010-06-13T22:45:25.701-05:00Super cool idea!!Super cool idea!!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-22695464785647225032010-06-13T22:21:17.937-05:002010-06-13T22:21:17.937-05:00Do you have to heat the needle to punch through th...Do you have to heat the needle to punch through the plastic?

I tried to get a nephew to slow down with the watering by giving him a bucket and a ladel, but eventually he got frustrated and tossed the ladel and just poured water from the bucket. This way, he had no choice but to squeeze the bottle until all the water comes out.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-44195500044913643872010-06-13T19:20:36.095-05:002010-06-13T19:20:36.095-05:00Excellent tip -- seems like a good project to do w...Excellent tip -- seems like a good project to do with my son -- if he had his way, he would drown every plant with a gallon of water poured from a bucket.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367654702422691061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-12220990571821429302010-06-13T18:41:37.143-05:002010-06-13T18:41:37.143-05:00Great tip, MBT.
