How to Water Plants When Away for a Month

Need a simple way to water your plants when you will be away from home for extended periods of time? Here's a quick and easy solution!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bucket
• Household String (med. thickness)

1. Fill a bucket of cool water and place in bathtub.

2. Place plants in position that surrounds the bucket.
   Give your plants a regular watering.

3. Cut string in lengths long enough to reach from bottom of bucket into plant.
   Lay the string near the plants roots & you should be good to go.
   The water in the bucket will saturate the string which will release water by acting as a straw!

on 6/29/2008 Sounds like a good idea. I'll be doing that instead of letting my friends take care of them (my plant missed me and died within three days of me being gone).
