1. Select a Suitable Location:
Advertisement:Begin by choosing an ideal, sunny spot for your upside-down pepper garden. Pepper plants thrive in full sun, so ensure they receive a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
2. Prepare the Grocery Bags:
Double or triple up the grocery bags to bolster their durability, and if needed, nest one bag inside another to create additional layers. Use scissors to create a small hole in the center of the bag’s bottom, allowing passage for the plastic bottle and seedling.
3. Create the Support Structure:
Advertisement:Construct a robust wooden support structure to hold your grocery bags. This could be in the form of a sturdy wooden frame or a trellis, but ensure it is strong enough to support both the bags and the growing peppers. Attach hooks or other hangers to the structure for secure bag suspension.
4. Prepare the Plastic Bottle Planter:
Take the top half of a 5L plastic bottle and remove the cap. Insert your chili pepper seedling into the bottle through the cap hole, ensuring that the roots extend into the bottle. Fill the bottle with compost or potting soil, leaving a small gap at the top.
