Watering
Return to DiscussionsI just got finished watering my wife's containers. I was nude of course. We are going out of town next week for 10 days and I was wondering the best way to keep them watered while gone. My sister-in-law is able to come over a couple of times during that period, but some of the containers dry out in a day or so if we get no rain. It has been cool and rainy here, but is now becoming hot and dry. Would it help if I set them in a pan or bucketof water so they could soak up water from the bottom? Will they get too much water that way? Thanks.
Greetings,
I filled 2 liter bottle full of water and added a small hole in the on the cap (turned the bottle upside down) with a paper towel stuck in the end.
Keeps the soil most while your out. Sun heats the water forces it out.
Hope this helps
