1. Water Jug
Yes, the plastic water jug you can use that in growing vegetables. There are circular water jug and also rectangular water jug. If you has a circular jug, you don't have any problem as you just need to remove the upper cover.To the rectangular jug you need to do something. You need to cut and remove the side wall of the jug. Get a knife and cut it. Be careful in handling the knife to prevent accident.
After that you need to make a hole under it. Why? Because you need to make sure that when you apply water, it will pass through under and it will not stack inside. After that continue putting soil inside and start growing vegetables.
