5 Nifty Ways to Water your Plants and Garden While you are Away

You wouldn’t want to hire someone just to look after your plants while you are away, and self-watering systems can be a little pricey.

For this reason we will show you how to keep your garden green and flourishing so you can spend that money on souvenirs!

1. Simple Saucers

This is the oldest and one of the best tricks in the book when we talk about water conservation for your potted plants, particularly if they’re outside. Pour some extra water into your saucer and your plant can soak up any extra. Remember that there should be a hole in the bottom of your pot, otherwise this DIY hack won’t work!

2. Creative DIY Irrigation

For this DIY project, all you need is a plastic bottle. Seriously.

Take some plastic bottle and make several small holes throughout. Then, plant your bottle almost fully in the soil, and remember to leave the neck and its opening above ground. As the soil dries, water will slowly be released into the soil, and it will keep your precious plants hydrated.

So, just fill this bottle up with water and your plant will do the rest!

3. For All Your Smaller Plants

All you need for this DIY project is a flexible straw or absorbent string, such as yarn, and a container of water. Bury the string or straw into the planter in order to be able to reach the roots of your plant and then attach the other end to the container of water.

And, that’s it! You have just made yourself a simple capillary irrigation system.

4. Composting Correctly

Composting can significantly improve your plants’ health. Try adding some torn up pieces of egg cartons to your plant’s soil to help it retain water, in order to help your garden conserve water while you’re out. This can be especially helpful for those plants that need extra water!

5. Winning with Wine Bottles

Take any screw-top wine bottle and poke a hole through the cap. Fill the bottle up with water and bury the neck upside-down into the soil. This irrigation system will slowly give your plants water as they need while also showing off your amazing taste in wines. This is a win-win situation. Or should we say wine-wine situation? 🙂
