Using solar light stakes as drip risers.

 Solar light stakes double as drip irrigation risers. 

Did you notice that drip risers look a lot like solar light stakes? So the next time you buy a solar light or get ready to throw out a solar light that doesn't work, think again. Convert solar light stakes to double as drip irrigation risers. All you need is a 1/4-inch drill bit and drill to make your solar light double as a drip riser.

Using your quarter-inch drill bit(or Dremel bit) drill a hole through both sides of the solar light stake. Be sure to drill your hole below the diffuser so if the solar light stops working it can be removed or replaced.Thread your 1/4-inch drip tubing through the light stake and then attach your drip emitter as you normally would. As shown in the photo below.

And there you have it, an upscale, upcycled, recycled solar light stake.You save a couple of bucks and help save the environment. For a little more detail on how to do this project and an extra idea or two watch the following video.
