This year, I'm building an AWS to hopefully alleviate any watering issues. In addition to what my 3 5-gallon buckets and one EarthTainer can accommodate in their reservoirs, I will have another 30-35 gallons ready to feed into them. I'm hoping this will be enough water for 5-6 days.

I would be unhappy if my reservoir went dry because the possibilites of it not resuming the wicking process would kill me, lol. That's too much work to lose and I sure wish I could setup an AWS, it would make watering much easier but I also think that watering each one daily makes me go out and inspect my plants for any potential bug problem or diseases.
