The basil plant was doing well but fell in the wind. Here is the photo of the new bottle it is in as well as a new spearmint bottle.

    Hi there! What medium did you use in lieu of soil?

    And how did you manage to cut the glass without breaking it? Cool.

    Check out the links in the post for how to cut the bottle. Dremel and Acetone are the two methods I use. There is just a little soil holding the root to the bottle the rest is just water with a little plant food.
