Witches Stiches - Container Gardening
This is one cold Feb. and it seems to be dragging on
forever. Spring is just around the corner, I promise you. I know in some parts
of the country it sure does not feel like it. My middle daughter is in NY State
and they had snow today. Here in NC it is cold, so cold!! Anyway…we will have
spring before we know it, or at least I keep telling myself that. When spring comes the first thing I think of
is my gardens. Even though I have raised beds, I still love to container
garden. You can do it in just about anything and no matter how cramped for
space you are you can have a container garden.
The only issue with it is watering all those containers. They
dry out so easy and who has time to water them every day. So here is a solution.
Use a plastic bottle for an “In Container”
water system. So easy, here is how:
Step 1 – Choose your container and also get an empty plastic
bottle that will fit in the center of your container.
Step 2 – Leave the cap on, cut the bottom off the bottle and
punch 12 tiny holes, (and I mean tiny), all over the bottle.
Step 3 – Fill your container halfway with dirt. In the
center of the container place the bottle cap side down keeping the bottom of
the bottle even with the top of the container. Now fill in around the bottle
with plants and dirt. Make sure you do not get dirt in your bottle. I place a piece
of paper over the bottle bottom until I am done.
Step 4 – You now have your container with plants and a
bottle in the middle. Fill the bottle with water. It will seep out of the bottle
slowly and water your container. As the
plants grow you will not even see the bottle. All you have to do is to fill the
bottle every week. How easy is that!!! Happy planting!!
Here is a link to my pintrest board with lots of container
gardening ideas http://www.pinterest.com/faithconroy/ideas-and-how-to-for-the-garden/
Enjoy, Faith
