I see at several front yard gardens in my neighborhood, plastic 1/2

Each is filled with clear liquid, probably just water. I see so many

I am located in Panorama City, CA at zip 91402.

Sounds like what you're seeing are inverted 2 liter plastic beverage
bottles with "Aqua Spikes" attached... these water plants slowly like
drip watering and their flow rate is adjustable:

I looked at at least three different gardens with water filled jugs
recently. Jugs are as you described (beverage) but all are standing up,
not upside down or inverted. Thanks for the link to the drip watering
device. Also, these jugs remain in there same positions for weeks
without being moved.

Will have to ask if "dogs not peeing" is the reason or what else?

I thank you all for the helpful comments.
