How to Water With Milk Jugs
- 1). Prep your milk jug. Remove your jug's screw-style or push-style cap. Wash out the milk residue completely with warm, soapy water and then rinse. Remove any stickers or glue from the jug and then set aside the jug to dry. After it has dried completely, decorate it with markers, stickers or decals as desired.
- 2). Drill holes in the size of your choice in the jug's cap. In addition, with the milk jug sitting upright drill a wide hole down through the top of the jug's handle to make a "fill hole" for your homemade watering can.
- 3). Screw or push the cap onto the mouth of the jug and then wrap tape around the neck and cap edge. If you're using a jug with a push-style cap, the tape will keep it from popping off while you are watering. Taping the cap to the jug will also keep water from dripping down the side of the jug when you're watering indoors.
- 4). Place a funnel in the hole at the top of the handle and fill your jug to the bottom of the handle (typically, a little over the jug's halfway point) with water.
- 5). Remove the funnel and go water your plants. Tip the jug over your plants so that the water sprinkles out. Refill after you empty the jug completely.
