2 liter bottles would be sweet, it will take alot of sugar and yiest but it will give off alot of co2. just melt a hole or drill a hole in the lidds and you will need to fill it like half way with water so you can shake it, you have to shake it to build up the carbon.

When my cat goes near the garden I usually end up finding cat hair stuck to my buds. I tried yeast sugar & water for a while it seemed to work fine. I was never sure how long they lasted though. After a week - 10 days they start to reek, A real pungent smell. I guess its supposed to smell. You can find more detailed info in the FAQ. Good Luck...

it lasts untill the bubbles dont show up when shaken. it does smell like fuckin bread or bear. its icky, it got too stinky for me, i dont do that anymore.
a good way is to get 2 of those plastic party cups, 2 sizes. one that will fit in the other one.
take the smaller one, put some vinigar in it, about 1/6 of the way full. then poke a hole in the bigger one, poke a string through the hole so it dangles in the vinigar when you put the bottom of the bigger cup in the top of the smaller one. make sure there is a coil of string on the inside of the big cup and poor some baking soda in the bottom so it covers the string. put some plastic wrap over the top of the big cup so powder doesnt get blown anywere, poke holes in the plastic.
this is basicaly a wick system, the string will carry vinigar from the bottom cup to the baking powder in the top, when vinigar comes in contact with baking powder it releases co2.
