I hear ya.... It never did good for me.

I made the video as I was trying it out....

Live and learn, huh?

Thank You, though I did not invent it.

I just made one from a water bottle as a test. A 2 liter would be better, but the water bottle makes great starter plants.

I thought it was cool, and wanted to share.

Thanks again.

As a soil scientist PhD I need to let you aware that your system has a problem because continuous saturated conditions leads acidifications and harms the plants not used to swamp conditions. That is why I invented Tubarc puting an artificial porosity interface to connect satutaretd and unsaturated zones (US Pat. 6,766,817). or just search for Tubarc 062 Plant Collection.

I saw another youtube video that used a cotton cloth to so hold the soil from falling into the water & other part dipping into the water. I also said that the bottle that has the soil should not be touching the water. And yours does. What is the difference? does any one knows.
