The Mad Garden Scientist Lives!
I love trying to come up with cool ways of doing things.
I have these flower boxes on the balcony and I need to find a way for them to get water while I am away.
Oh and to all my Chicago friends who I was going to visit next week... I won't be able to to visit:( My sucky Boston client is refusing to pay and well I have a big project that I need to tend too... And honestly with my boy just heading back to work on Tuesday I can't do it. I should be able to make a trip in a couple of weeks though. I'm sorry.
Anyhow back to my project which is not ready yet.
Take a large soda bottle 2 liter cut the bottom off and put hole in the cap
4 holes way to many! Contents emptied into the box and drained out in less than 5 minutes.
1 hole still drains to fast. Emptied out and drained in 20 minutes, watering the plant below...
Note if you arrange the plants below the boxes you can two tier water!
OK I'm gonna not cut of the bottom of the last bottle but to see if I can salvage the the bottle with 4 holes still, Im gonna put some cheese cloth in the cap!
I'm always thinking, maybe photos later if it goes well.
Hmmmmm, back to cleaning now.
