How to make an Automatic Vegetable Waterer Using a Plastic Bottle

You can stop watering with this irrigation system that we will show you. You will only need 1 plastic bottle and a simple string. Here’s how you have to do it.

Plants need water and often, among the various commitments we have, we forget about it . For plants, however, water is essential otherwise you risk causing them to die. For this there is a method that you can use to no longer have to worry about having to water the plants.

In fact, this method comes in handy for those who spend many hours away from home but also for those who decide to go on holiday and have no one to entrust their plants to. In fact, often when you go traveling you leave your apartment to a trusted person to water the plants.

With the method we are going to see today you will leave the watering can aside forever because this system is truly effective and functional . And above all, the plant also benefits, as it will receive water in small quantities but constantly. So let’s go below to see all the details of this method which will allow you not to think about watering the plants for more than a week.

No more watering can: this is the method for watering your plants

As we said, this method which allows you to water without a watering can and without worries is truly effective but also very simple to implement. In fact, to make it happen you will only need a few things. A plastic bottle, a small plastic tube, a string and a simple wire .

First of all you will have to make a hole the size of the tube on the plastic cap with the help of a soldering iron. At this point, after making the hole, make sure it is the right size. Then with the help of the wire you will have to pass the rope inside the plastic tube. Remember that the string needs to be slightly longer than the tube.

You can attach the short one to the wire by creating a sort of buttonhole and passing the wire through first which will carry the rope with it. Once the rope has passed completely you can go and remove the wire. Make sure that the rope protrudes slightly from both sides of the plastic tube .

Now you can put the tube with the rope inside the bottle by passing it through the hole previously made in the cap. The length of the tube must be such that on the inside it touches the bottom of the bottle and on the outside it remains raised a few centimeters from the ground.

Drip irrigation system

At this point your shower irrigation system is ready and all you have to do is fill the bottle and try this system you have created. Once you have filled the bottle with water you will have to give the rope time to soak up the water and then transfer it externally .

The jet of water that comes out with this system is very light, in fact the water falls drop by drop. For this reason, the water inside the bottle can last up to a week. The plant is therefore irrigated constantly but with little water. All you have to do is try this irrigation system yourself.
