Water spikes

With all the garden catalogs arriving in this cold spell, I'm busy dreaming and listing my garden goals for this year. I plan on setting up more rain barrels and would like to try the deep-root watering system using the water spikes on milk jugs & 2-liter plastic pop bottles. There are ready made spikes available that simply screw onto the bottle(they are way too pricey for this frugal gardener!!) I was wondering if anyone has come up with a "homemade" version of a spike? I'm planning a trip to HD plumbing dept to see if small diameter pvc pipe with end caps and something from the garden dept might be adaptable?? I'd appreciate any suggestions and/or sources of ready made spikes to compair prices if I can't come up with a "cheap" alternative. Keep warm and dream of sunshine & green, Cleo
