Not much of a DIY but really simple and helpful!
I do not take credit for this idea, alot of people already use it and i thought i would share it for those that dont.

Just use a syringe to fill your vials! EASY... i have wasted so much time tipping water in and out to get to the 5ml level
(I bought a 2pack at my local chemist for like $1..)



i did go a little further and added my own marker line.. just to make it blatantly obvious for myself biggrin.gif Most have measurements marked on the syringe anyway.

For those who haven't used these on kids, this is an oral syringe. Also great if you mix up your own fertillisers from dry form.
