Self Watering Garden Containers



Self watering planters/containers are great for any garden. You can find them in all different  sizes and styles. 

Here are just a few available at Amazon.
                                 










What is a self watering containers?

Water is stored at the bottom of the container.  Some just store the water and the plants roots will take in water when needed.  Other systems have tubing to connect for circulating the water. Both systems should give you more days in between watering.

The best part of using planters it eliminates hours of weeding.

Planted Early Straight Neck Squash - 50 Seeds in a rectangle self water container.  Just planted three seeds.  The planter itself was not a fancy one.  Made a trellis to support plant and squash.  This worked out pretty good.
