The article discusses an innovative gardening tip to fill large planters without overspending on potting soil. By using empty soda cans, gardeners can significantly reduce both the weight and cost of filling large containers. This method not only enhances drainage but also leverages commonly available items that would otherwise be recycled. The author recommends crushing the cans before use to prevent them from being compressed under the weight of the soil. This eco-friendly approach is particularly beneficial for renters who may need to relocate their planters.
Using empty soda cans in large planters not only aids in drainage but significantly reduces the amount of potting soil required.
Crushing the cans slightly prevents them from being crushed by heavy soil over time, ensuring effective soil usage.
