I've decided to make one of those bucket waterers that I've seen on here. But I'm apparently waterer challenged.
I got my bucket (with air-tight lid; it's one of those icing buckets y'all recommended) and plastic planter dish. I drilled a hole (about 3/16 or 1/4 inch, not sure) on the side of the bottom of the bucket. I filled the bucket, put the top on, placed it in the dish, and nothing's coming out!!! I get a few drops then nothing. I tried cracking the lid, and as expected it flooded the dish.
What am I missing? Did I drill the hole too small? Should there be more than one hole?
Boy I feel silly for not being able to put together something that seems so commonplace!!
Please help! Thanks!
