poor mans self watering system.

18 years ago

I thought I would post this watering system here.

Materials used were part of an old cotton shirt, water bottle section of old hose and yogurt container and two reusable twist ties and shrink wrap. The cloth dips into the bottle as well as container. Soil is 1/3 compost , vermiculite and peat.

This one is suspended from a clothes line pole where there are 2 rings on each side. One supports the container while the other supports the reservoir. It seems to last several days in heat, at least 3.

This last one seems a little more compact and can exist with only a single hanger. I have also added water feeder hoses from sections of old hose. This can allow for watering every other day and could. I have another with 3 bottles.
