3 Home Gardening Hacks Every Beginner Needs to Know

1) Construct a DIY Self-Watering System for Your Plants 

 

Keeping your plants adequately watered can be challenging, particularly during warm weather or when you’re not home. A straightforward DIY self-watering system can help you conserve time and effort while ensuring your plants receive the moisture they require. All you need is a plastic bottle or container along with a bit of twine or string. 

 

Steps to create it: 

 

Fill a plastic bottle with water, and create a small opening in the cap. 

Place the bottle upside down into the soil, burying it a few inches deep. As the soil dries, the water will gradually seep out, maintaining hydration for your plants for an extended period. 

Alternatively, you can use twine to draw water from a larger container to a smaller plant pot, providing a hassle-free watering method. 

If you don't have time to make self watering system you can buy self watering plant pots which will save you time and money
