7/18 - plant got watered today. Second watering from the top. Moving forward plant will only get watered through PVC to encourage self-wicking
7/22 - watered my other two plants at the same time on 7/18 (check out that diary!) - - - this self watering bucket does not need to be watered yet! Looks like the self water is actually working and extending the amount of time between waterings.
@Kitties_and_Colas, I can’t even imagine. this heat and the fabric pots have me watering all the time and I’ve got mine right near the spigot. Check out Gardening with Leon on YouTube. That’s where I got the idea and he has a larger scale version I plan to use in the future.
@RecreationalRoots, its a really cool idea, ill follow to see how it turns out 😺...we have to cart water to our outdoor stuff most years and it can be an insane amount of work
@Kitties_and_Colas tbh this is my first time growing. I have two other plants that are about 4 weeks older than this grow (check out that diary) that I’ll be able to compare this one to so hold tight and I’ll let you know. It definitely is making a huge difference in extending the time between watering s compared to fabric pots.
