Default 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.

I love sharing my gardening videos and ideas with other gardeners.

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.

Thank you so much for the Subscription Redbaron. I am waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before i start some new videos. I am hoping to make some updates on the grafting videos eventually.

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
