Prepare Bottles
- Clean both bottles.

Create Water Wheels
- Glue straws or tubing inside the curved pieces.
- Ensure connections are sealed and secure.
Assemble the Rotating System
- Insert skewer or rod through the center of the water reservoir.
- Attach water wheels to the skewer/rod, balancing them. Secure with string or wire.
Make Water Inlet Holes
- Punch small holes near the bottom of the water reservoir with an awl or nail.
Set Up the System
- Position the system in your garden.
- Elevate the water reservoir slightly.
Add Water
