Summary

Making use of unused space for agriculture using recycled materials

When making our prototype of Lady's finger plant, first we planted the lady's finger seeds to allow it to germinate. Once it germinates, we first get recycled 1Litre water bottles (Mineral bottles etc.) Then, we cut one portion of the front and back of the water bottle. Use a cloth where water can seep out and cover one side of the cut sides to allow excess water to seep through. Then, add soil and plant your plant inside. Then, we used wires to tie the plant to a fence, as lady's finger is a climbing plant, the lady's finger plant will grow and “climb” up the fence. And in addition, the fence is an unused space, where the plants can “climb” up in peace, without getting disturbed.
