im not so quick to put this down, it will work. I was also a little turned off by the plastic bottle, but just because I find them junky and gross.

a glass demijohn would be so much nicer, but then you'd need a diamond hole saw.. one for ceramic tiles might work

I also dislike the look of the plastic water cooler, but it's resourceful should you have the water cooler jugs anyway. I don't and I don't have access to em. That said, I bet I can fashion something similar out of other materials, though I'm curious if the transparent-ness of the plastic is helpful for the plant.

It looks sorta similar to a terracotta pot I've seen someone use for growing strawberries on a patio.

yeah for sure, I thought of the same thing. its clear that the transparent plasric is goo in that the sinlight van hit one side and nourish all of the plants without shadow

You can rotate it periodically to give sunlight to all sides, but on my balcony thats not really that necessary. We have strong sun and when its high in the sky it hits everything
