Self Watering Pots for 2 dollars for your Transplants
Thought I'd share this with you. This has worked great for me with all my tomato plants in the past.

Delerium, I just clicked on the link and YouTube says the video is private.
Any chance I can get permission to see it? Thanks, Ann |

You can easily scale this down to a 1 litre or up to "water cooler" type juggs that are usually 5 gal. U.S. This works well with the Diatomaceous Earth "kitty litter" / Oil Dry product as well. |

Cute idea I think i would forego the spray paint, maybe get some pretty Mylar wrap or remnant wallpaper, and tape it around and let it drape over the bottom like a skirt, hiding the reservoir.

Nice videos, and your daughter is adorable! Those white planters you have in your garden, did you buy or build those? I love that they are square and deep.

Will look ay all your videos as I find time. Fun.
In turn, I finally put together my attempt at a "bottle tower garden," inspired by a YouTube video you can find by searching that phrase. uploadfromtaptalk1357706731771.jpg |
