DIY Netpots

Today's episode is about the DIY netpots out of disposable plastic water or soda bottles. I made the effort to share this idea even though I know that probably most Aquaponics and Hydroponics DIYers have applied this idea. But searching the internet doesn't yield the expected results.

The purpose of this DIY guide is to give beginners the idea on how to save on parts and materials for this hobby. Not only it will help them with the cost but also with time on shipping or effort of going to distant store to source out this part. And moreover you can also minimize household garbage output with this idea.


First we have to gather the materials and the tools:




  1. Empty soda plastic bottles.
  2. A heavy duty scissor.
  3. a side cutting pliers.
  4. and a blade cutter.



First step is to cut the plastic bottles into two, the length between top or bottom will depend on your setup.




Second step is slice the caps  like a net or star pattern using a blade cutter.




Third is to push the sliced plastic outwards and cut some to give way to roots and air using your side cutting pliers.




And now you have your DIY net pot from disposable soda or water plastic bottles.




some variations.
