The easiest way to make a drip irrigation system from an old plastic bottle would be to punch a hole in the bottom of the bottle and connecting the bottle to a section of drip tape using a piece of spaghetti tube.
Then elevate the bottle above ground level so that gravity will move the water to the drip tape and to your plants.

Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?
Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.
Is drip irrigation cheap affordable?
Yes, depends on what you want and what quality of system you want. If you are irrigating a small garden or planters then yes it is. But if your doing a plantation of say citrus or fruit trees or melons, it can e very expensive. The size and type of your pump, tubing length and size, connectors and drip heads. This all adds to your cost of irrigation. The good news is that you have no wasted water. It all goes directly to the roots and you have very happy plants/trees. Its also a good way to fertilize those plants/trees. More good news....once its installed there is little or no maintenance required. I have about 1500 trees covering 8 acres so you can see the advantage of not using Rainbird type systems. I plan on adding more trees and the additional area is very easy to bring water to, via the drip system. Basically plug and play.
