Bottles in Quebec
4:45 pm in questions by Julie Labonté
HI! I’m from Quebec and I don’t know what kind of water bottles are the best for the windowfarm, because here there no bottles of these marks : Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Ozarka, Poland Spring, Zephyrhills, Arrowhead, or Calistoga. Thank you!!
Hello to a fellow Canadian! My last few projects used different bottles. I went into Loblaws and used the PC brand 1L water bottles. I’ve used 591ml and 2L coke bottles aswell.
The trick is to find a net cup and bottle combination that works. The bottles commonly used in the windowfarms have that curve shape to hold the net cup, but if you can’t find it, come up with another creative way of getting it done.
You could use the PC branded ones, fill it a little bit with clay pellets, and then sit the net cup on top of them. That way they are the right height.
I used Evian 1.5L bottles for mine. They have a “waist” area and 3″ net pots fit in them just fine.
Thank you!
