Good watering is essential for good cultivation, in fact the right amount of water allows the plants to develop at their best at every stage of growth. Too much water damages the roots, stem and leaves; if they receive too little water, they risk drying out in a short time. This ingenious technique will allow you to “water”without any waste of water and without making mistakes in watering.

How to use bottles as real tanks

With this technique you will no longer manually irrigate potted plants and in-ground plants, including the vegetable garden, for days, you can go on vacation or be away for a weekend, without having to ask friends and neighbors to give water to the plants.

Get plastic bottles of two different sizes – half-liter bottles and one-and-a-half-liter bottles, or one-and-a-half-liter bottles and 3-liter jerrycans and so on – the larger they are, the longer the water charge will last. You will have your irrigation system at no cost and zero impact.

Take the smaller plastic container and cut it more or less in half, as in the photo. Dig a hole to bury it and fill it with water. At this point, take the larger plastic container and cut it in half as well.

Now place it upside down on top of the smaller one, so you get it like a big lid (see photos).

With these simple steps, the irrigation system is complete and will work automatically: the more sun there is, the more the plants will be watered.
