Wednesday June 21, 2006
While away for a short weekend the other day I was worried that several plants might suffer in what was expected to be a hot few days. So I got a load of empty wine bottles and after giving the plants a final watering before leaving, filled each bottle and inverted it into the soil surrounding the plant. The water gradually seeps out into the soil. Wine bottles are not the best for this use, fizzy drinks or squash bottles are better. When using those you can leave the bottle in situ all the time having cut the base off and then fill it with a watering can. The main problem with wine bottle is because of their narrow neck this can get full of soil preventing the water escaping. Also large plastic bottles can also hold more water in the first place.
