No more thirsty plants: find out how to create an effective and economical watering tool
Irrigating our green spaces in the best possible way is essential, especially when the weather gets hotter. Whether it's terraces, balconies, courtyards or proper gardens, it doesn't matter: our plants need care, and they should never be lacking the fundamental elements they need to grow.
Of course, the most important thing is water: plants get "thirsty", and each one has its own needs in terms of irrigation, which is why we need to be precise in watering them. However, not everyone always manages to water plants on time and consistently. So, what can be done? In these cases, we can build a watering tool to help us out. Ready to find out what this is?

It doesn't matter whether you're a plant expert or not: everyone knows that watering plants well is essential for them to grow and survive. Unfortunately, due to other committments, we don't always get around to doing this properly.
If we don't water our plants regularly, they will wither and die. But this tool will help keep the soil moist, even when we are not around. And did you know that you can create this tool at home, easily and cheaply? If you answered no, then we'll show you how to build the DIY watering tool.

This video clearly explains, step by step, how to create this very practical watering system, which will allow you to give your plants the right amount of water they need, directly to their roots and through flexible tubes connected to two plastic bottles.

How to make this watering tool?
Take a half-liter plastic bottle (or a larger one if the plants are big), put a hole in the lid and insert a plastic tube, into which we will insert a fabric cord. Everything must be placed inside the bottle and, with the help of a piece of wire secured in place - as seen in the video.
Shortly, our DIY waterer will start to work: water will come out of the tube drop by drop, and we just need to place it alongside the plant that needs to be watered.
Simple, right? And this DIY system can save us a lot of money by eliminating the need to buy a commercial irrigation system. Water your plants is important, and this can really be a life-saver.
