How to water plants for a month
As we said, this method can be useful when you spend a few days away from home. You’ll need a large plastic bottle. The bigger the bottle, the more day you won’t be watering your plants. Now with a marker make a mark about 15 centimeters from the bottom and 10 centimeters from the neck.
Join and it will be an internal line that will serve as a guide to know the position in which to put the bottle on the plant. Slightly below the line, about 7 centimeters from the bottom, make a dot that you will have to pierce. You can do this with an awl or heated spun iron.
The hole should be small and not too big. At this point, go and fill the bottle with water. Not all of it, but up to the beginning of the line drawn above. Now close the bottle with the cap tightening tightly. The time has come to place the bottle near the plant.
Placing the bottle in the ground
You can use this method in the garden and you need to go close to the plant and lightly dig up some soil so that you put the bottle. The bottle must be buried up to the starting point of the line made previously. Remember to face the side of the bottle with the hole towards the plant.
Now cover with earth again. Then open the cap and fill the bottle completely. Now close with the cap again. As soon as the bottle is closed, the water level will stop dropping and will only come out at the request of the plant or when the soil is dry. It will fall in a drop.
This way you are sure that your plants will always be watered and you won’t have to have to have the thought of going to water the plants every day. This method is especially for vegetables planted in the garden. But there are also other methods for potted plants such as bottle and twine.
