Dream Garden 101 Gardening tips
The best way to water your garden is to set up a drip irrigation system with an automatic timer. But what if you do not have that option?. If so, a great option is to bury a milk jug with holes drilled in it next to your plants. To water all you have to do is stick the hose in the top of the jug and fill up the milk jug and you are done! It also makes it easy to fertilize, add a scoup of fertilizer into the jug and add water and you’re done!
Good idea, but your instructions are wrong. If you're going by the pic you posted, you would just poke a hole in the bottom of the container to push the plant in and push a dowel through the handle and upper part of the container to hang string from. The spout would be left intact to use for the watering bottle.
If you look closely at the bottom of the jug, it looks like they did cut the bottom and then duct taped it after they put the plant in. Then they painted it all to match.
wish you guys would have a print all added to your pages so that we can put it into our Evernote with all these ideas
I added the print button, thank your for advice.
You could also use that scoop to put fertilizer in that handle part and water there for easy feeding to the plant.
I’m going to try this with my Cub Scout den.
Great project Joy…
I appreciate all of your cleaver ideas for container gardening. Many save me money and make it easier for me. I am unable to get around well due to a spine injury and your site has helped me. Seems as though some people just look for any little thing to criticize. Pay no mind…your site is informative, has great pictures and I appreciate it. I have pinned several of your ideas on Pinterest myself so others can benefit. Any ideas on which plant food works best for my containers with “auto water” buried jugs or soda bottles? Advise would be appreciated. Keep up the great advise!
It’s good for veggies that need constant watering. Thank’s for your appreciation !
