Comment by Chief Walks on February 17, 2018 at 2:39pm: What About DIY Self-Watering Plant Containers?

If you are handy, you can certainly make your own. There are lots of easy and popular concepts you can find online.

Among them are ideas for using a five gallon bucket, innovative ways of using a soda bottle as a reservoir and many more. Here are a couple of good videos that clearly show how to make a bucket-style SIP and a model similar to the popular Earth Box.

Here’s a clever idea using a large planter without drainage holes. USe the idea and adapt it for use with a 5-gallon bucket.

Comment by Chief Walks on December 31, 2017 at 11:17am: Wine isn’t just for humans; plants love it, too. If you want to show up your green-thumb neighbors, grab a Malbec or Merlot and a compost bin to create your very own fertilizer. Red wine activates bacteria in compost that transforms it from trash into highly effective fertilizer.
