@joesgarden: Today we are back and I am showing you my quick tip on how to water your plants if you are going away or are on holiday for a few days. This technique is really effective and will work really well, so well in fact you need to make sure your pots have drainage holes in the bottom for any excess moisture. I normally use a big bucket, rather than a suacepan, but it looked really bad on the video. Obviously this method is designed for plants inside or in a greenhouse, but if like me you have no rain forecast while you are away, you can use it for your outside plants too. Please be aware if the container is in direct outside sun, it can evaporate quite fast, so it is good to put it in some shade. I think it is best to use a thick cotton string as it absorbs water way better, but if you only have thin string, try weaving them together to make a thicker bit. Containers are a great way to grow crops and as a result I have launched garden with Joe! Each month I will send you all the seasonal seeds I am growing, plus all the supplies you need to grow them from sowing to harvest. All of this is in a sustainable and beginner friendly way! If you would like to join the growing family, check out the link in my profile that says garden with Joe. Thank you all so much for watching! I love you all, Joe 😊🌱💚 #organic #garden #gardening #growyourownfood #plantbased #sustainable #DIY #zerowaste #gardentips #wateringplants

Can confirm this works too well. I often forget physics when it comes to my cup of tea, and often only realize when myself and the table are soaked

works better if you put the string through a plastic tube like a garden hose
