Day 1 * full jug
|
Day 6 * nearly empty jug
|
We were going on vacation for 6 days, and I wanted to keep my basil plant alive while we were gone. It was over 90 in North Texas during that time, but my basil was still healthy and alive when we got home!
I filled an empty gallon water jug with water and put the lid on. Then poked about 5-6 slits in the sloping top of the jug around the lid (with a sharp knife ~ wiggle it a little when it's in there, so the slits are slightly open). Turn the jug upside-down (lid down) in your pot (mine was propped against a little solar light, to keep it straight).
The water should gradually seep out of the slits while you're gone. The jug collapses into itself as the water depletes.
