Make Watering Easier

Make Watering Your Plants Easier

I had to run out to Tawra’s house to water her garden this morning. She had a good idea to save on water and/or to help those who you might need to ask to water for you.

Tawra took a gallon plastic milk jug, cut the bottom off, turned it upside down and poked the pour spout into the ground. Then when I go over there to water, I just fill up the jug and leave it. I don’t have to stand there wondering whether I have watered it enough or whether I wasted a bunch of water watering it too much. You can also just set the jug upright and poke a hole in the bottom for easy drip irrigation.

 You can use these tips to make your own watering experience easier, too!

Also, when you need to ask someone to water your plants, bunch all your potted plants together to be watered. This way the person taking care of them doesn’t have to run from one end of the yard to the other with the hose running and wasting water.

I love it when my children make my life easier.
