How many holes and how big will make a difference in your success. I experimented with different sized holes and one hole vs. too many, and finally came to a system that drips reliably, and at a rate of 2 liters per 10 hours. If you need to set this up to leave for a couple of days, then I suggest a larger resevoir. I am also looking into other systems, but in the meantime my Jalepeno peppers are very happy!
Thanks for Watching!
Great idea! I gotta try this! I have those orange thing you screw on your 2 liter bottles but the water drains out too fast. Thanks for sharing! 😀
I will need this when the Aussie summer arrives. Pots dry out in a single day.
You have made the best explanation of this system from all the others I’ve seen. Thank you!!
Thank you for this I like Grobuckets For 26 day What are once cycles.
Thank you. This is the best explanation of the drip system
Great Idea!
Dumb question: We don't drink soda but I do have 1/2 gallon jugs from orange juice. I want to know if that would be too much water? I figure I could use an empty used seedling pot for the jug to sit in upside down instead of using another jug cut in half. Great videa. Don't know why I haven't seen it before now
买一套滴灌系统吧，一点也不贵，而且不用这么麻烦。
ima try your design in the spring. all of mine failed 🙁
You are one smart cookie
Omg well done. Absolutely brilliant trial and error and you cracked it
great idea. I love the flap for easy refill, genius
Smart
Great instructions. Very clear. Waiting for spring!
This one of the best and easiest drip systems yet! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tip.
Take a glass wine bottle with a cap or cork on it.
Shove it into the ground then remove it.
Remove the cap, fill the bottle, invert the bottle without the cap, and quickly place it into the hole you just made.
Watering will be automatic.
The thirstier the plant the drier the soil gets. As soil dries, it shrinks and lets air into the bottle, and water out. When the water is released, the soil swells pretty quickly and stops the flow.
Since no cap, the plant can get all the water it wants.
With a cap and holes in the cap, the watering is very limited.
I have done this for a few years now with great success.
I prefer to use magnum wine bottles since they can hold more water.
after using 2litre bottle for 10hours till empty. do you have to refill straight away? or can you leave it for a 2 days before refilling the bottle?
I'm here from my module tnx
Best process I've seen so far. Thanks!
I don't have a garden I don't know what I'm doing here, yeah it's a good idea though
Thank you, this is great! simple (and cheap) to make, recycles my used bottles, simple to install, simple to refill, no external energy source, won't clog…. so many benefits of this design!
Will the water in the bottle become warm in the summer ?
awesome 🙂
Skipped over 20 videos within one minute of watching because I knew right away it was not going to work…Yours definitely kept me watching till the end! Will try your method to see what works for me…
