Dada want big plastic soda bottles

[Dave Ridley]

Will pay five cents each or equiv. in silver.   No need to clean them. 

Juice bottles and vinegar bottles are ok too, they just need to be more than a liter, ultra watertight and designed for drinkables.

Dada- I think I could really meet this need. I unfortunately am going through a 2-liter of diet pop (yes pop, not soda) a day, still adjusting to the eastern time zone, daylight savings time, and 20+ years post-college 10am wake-ups.

Let me know what quantity you need, and I can supply it!

OK Dave, I'll bite

I bet it is for emergency water storage.

I bet it is for emergency water storage.

I would think so also they are nice because you can stack them if you lay them flat in a closet and then keep on stacking them up.

I have found that the bottles are very useful I like to use them as cheep planting pots cut the top off and put some drainage holes in the side near the bottom of the bottle and you have a 5 cent plant pot with enough room for roots of a bunch of plants like tomato, peas, peppers,  and herbs like basil, and oregano. I like to use them to plant seeds early and then grow them inside until the last frost has passed then plant them in the garden and have early harvest.

You could also use the middle section of a bottle as rodent barriers take a knife and slice the bottle around the top where it begins to narrow and make a slice around the bottom of the bottle I like to leave about 4 inches in of side wall on the bottom so I can use it as a plant pot also, take the middle section and place it around the plant in the garden.

If you are not sure if the last frost has passed just cut the bottom and leave the top on to cover the plants. (do not use green bottles for this if you do the plants will not be able to get energy from the sun, plant leaves cannot use green light)

he shoots he scores.  buying water from the store costs a buck a gallon so this way i save 95 cents a gallon   also these containers are more durable than the usual milk jug style containers you find at the store...and when you fill with tap water it apparently lasts longer than store bought distilled water.   Your supposed to drink distilled within 2 years...tap water can store someowhat longer since it contains chlorine....sometiems up to ten years they say.

hope others of you are doing the water thing too....
