Today we are back and I am sharing with you one of my favourite ways to water my plants on autopilot. It is so quick, easy and cheap to set up and can save you a lot of time with your summer watering. 📣Announcement: I have included lots more information and quick tips about growing food, flowers, using and preserving your food, wildlife and using any size space to its full potential in my brand new book Garden To Save The World, which is available to pre order now by following the link in my channel bio 🌱💚 Thank you so much for everyone who has pre ordered, it means the world to me and is so important for new books 😊 I love watering my plants, it is one of the most peaceful moments of my day, however, life can get busy and in the summer our plants can require a lot of water. That’s why I am always looking for ways to help speed up this process. This ancient watering technique has been used for years and it really simple and effective. Due to the porous nature of terracotta, the water slowly seeps out the pot into any surrounding soil. I’ve found roughly a 5 litre pot can water an area nearly a meter square (obviously depending on the soil and moisture levels). However, there are a few things to keep an eye on. Please don’t buy those glazed terracotta pots as this will not work with those. It is also important to make sure the top is covered. Not only will this help reduce evaporation, but will stop mosquitoes as well as other small animals falling in. I hope you are all having a lovely week so far, and I love you all, Joe 😊🌱🤣 #watering #plants #gardening #gardentips #zerowaste #Sustainability #ecotips - @joesgarden
