What is the point of lining your lawn with bottles of water(?)

maybe they have small plants underneath to protect them?
edit: ie: cut the bottoms off and create mini green houses
Something to do with the idea of bottles of water deterring cats maybe
It’s a tip for scaring off cats. I’ve tried it, does not work.
So little shits can run up and kick them over
To hydrate joggers?
Looks like they’re trying to grow plants or bushes/ hedges around the edge so it could be to stop the birds eating the seedlings when they start growing.
It keeps out witches.
Keeps the Hogwarts owls from delivering letters. So the silly muggles think anyway.
Is that… Privet Drive?!?!
Cats are supposed to be scared of their reflection in the bottles.
Having read the other answers I suspect I’m wrong but my guess was something to do with stopping cars driving on the grass/ giving them a bit of warning via the bottle crunching up?
To keep the foxes out
Is this in Waterbeach?
Teenaged son told to water the grass and decided to be a smart arse?
“Look how many bottles I have!”. Classic power move.
A lazy or misinformed attempt at a moat
I remember this being a gag ‘ tip” a radio host told his audience would stop dogs shitting on your lawn and it memed across the world before the internet was a thing. My 86 year old MIL still does it and won’t listen or see the evidence, quite clearly, that it doesn’t work .
Fox shit attractive
They’re hoping, with plenty of watering, it’ll grow into a full size plastic fence in a few years’ time.
They’re growing a hedge, miniature greenhouses for cuttings.
Is that Waterbeach?? There’s a house there with the same thing and they have been there ages. I’ve been driving past wondering why they have them. They seem to be full of water??
dogs and cats can’t pee if they see bottled water
Is this Denny end road in waterbeach?
Yeah the guy is trying in vain to ward off cats in spite of the fact I see cats on that grass all the time
Is that house in Lincolnshire?
I know people who use them to water their plants – the idea is you don’t want to water them with cold water if it’s hot, so you use water that’s been outside, and it doesn’t chill or heat the plants overmuch.
I don’t know if that works or not – I’ve a feeling it only applies to hotter climates.
Keeps the goblins away
It’s to scare cats away. Mythbusters tried it, it doesn’t work.
They’ll be growing a hedge maybe
It’s like uni students lining their window sills with empty vodka bottles.
Only this person is showing how well hydrated they are.
They saw the government advice about stockpiling water
The new neighbours at number 6 Privet Drive are odd.
