HOMEGROWN How To: How to Make A Self-watering (or Sub-irrigated) Garden Container for Cheap

[keptyeti]

I really don't get the appeal of these things. Do we really need to use all that plastic for a square foot and a half of garden space? Is it really that hard to remember to water a square foot and a half of garden space? btw theres not enough room in that container for all those plants.

I love you hat! Could you please share where you got it? 

[kikaperez1]

Thank you for sharing this info. I am excited to try this out in the next few days!

the music is really loud and annoying.

I have been looking for a self -watering container and yours is the easiest to follow ! I will do it my own pretty soon ! thanks for the video tip!!  :)

Im going to try this for growing lettuce and cilantro next summer. I always have trouble with them bolting to seed when it gets so hot here and I think this will solve the problem of them not getting enough water to self irrigate in the heat of the day. Thanks for the great idea.

'inverted plastic cups' is a great approach to simple earth box. good job!

[MrBlue609]

That is a very awesome system. Thank you!

Well, you need something pretty rigid to hold up the soil. I would be afraid that cotton fabric would sag and stretch between the cups. Anything strong with holes will work!

Great idea. Instead of using that net, will a piece of cotton rag works?

I am trying out your design tomorrow! It's really well planned out. Thanks!
