Self-Watering spike

Image
I half expected these things not to work and out plants would be dead after returning from a holiday vacation. Surprisingly, as simple as these are they worked great. Plants kept with constant moisture. Now we leave them in all the time and just refill the vases. Someone should make a tank that can clip on the outside of the pot. Only note is that you need to fill the ceramic plug completely full with water and immerse the tubes to ensure the capillary action works to pull water into the spike. you can get them from HERE

Burying a watering pot in your garden

Image
Dig a hole in middle of mound + bury a plastic pot, leaving the rim sticking out a few cms. The earth should be mounded up around the pot, with its rim at the top of the slope. As the plants grow, their roots spread around bottom of the pot. When you fill the pot with water, it slowly drains out of the holes at the bottom of the pot, directly and gently watering the roots. Once the plants start bearing, use the central pot to feed your plants with organic liquid fertiliser. Source : Vertical vegetables
