How to make a self-watering pot easily!
Рет қаралды 728
Ай бұрынToday I am showing you how to make your own self watering pot. I am a forgetful gardener and these self-watering pots have saved me from killing quite a few crops of food! I am reconditioning the soil in my pots at the moment, and thought this a good opportunity to show you how I made these great self-watering pots that I grow food in. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for this video. Years ago, I saw a similar video and made a self-watering pot using coconut fibers instead of scoria (much lighter!). Have you ever tried using them? (I bought the fiber in block form that breaks apart and absorbs water. Before putting it into the pot, I soaked the fibers in a bucket with water.) Your setup looks quite durable! Probably more durable than what I made.

No, I haven't used coconut fibre. I would be a bit concerned with a bigger pot that the weight of the soil would end up compacting down the coconut fibre, therefore reducing your water holding capacity. However, a mix of coconut fibre and scoria might be quite good!

I just fill it once or twice a week (depends how hot it is)and fill until it starts to overflow. 😁
