Best practices for repurposing household items into functional, low-cost planters.

"Forget those expensive online catalogs—this is where the real fun begins and your inner engineer shines! Local jugad solutions are the heart and soul of truly resourceful farming. Why pay for a planter when that old water bottle, discarded paint bucket, or even a broken appliance can be repurposed?

This isn't just about low cost; it's about the massive satisfaction of recycling and reducing waste.

But two best practices are non-negotiable: First, proper drainage! Your roots will drown if the water can't escape, so drill plenty of holes. Second, safety first! Never use containers that held harsh chemicals, oil, or toxic paint for growing anything you plan to eat.

Embrace creativity, but make sure your beautiful jugad is clean, safe, and functional!"
