yup...several small holes are best for slow steady watering!
same here lady! Its my favorite way to start and end the day! Coming on here and seeing what people are up to and like you said, I always learn something too!
anything will work really..even open topped containers you don't really need...like coffee cans and etc.Hey thanks Vicki, never tried that one! Now, If I can just find some jugs that either the dog or Pip hasn't poked too many holes in...
those will work great! Do three to 4 per plant if you have enough....also, we use coffee cans and gallon size food cans (from restaurants) and cut off both the top and bottom and when I plant most of my plants (tomatoes, kohrabi, cauliflower, etc) will put one of the cans around the small plant and sink it into the ground a bit. I do this for quite a few reasons...the major one is that it keeps things like cut worms from being able to get to the plants, but also, gives a bit of shade protection to the little guys when they first are growing so their roots can establish, and the best part is when the plants are bigger, they offer a bit of stability for plants...especially around here, from the winds, and you can fill the can up to the top and let it soak in when you move onto the next plant and come back and do it again (makes watering go so much faster)...this way I can keep track of roughly how much water the plant is getting. I still do the soaker bottles as well on the more sensitive plants...like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and etc.
haha that's kinda funny the bad charlotte genes are breeding forward. As much as those little escapees can annoy sometimes, I admit, they usually end up being the ones I love the most. Stinkers!Heard a rather loud peep, peep, peep coming from the shop room right before I went out to feed. One of my Marans babied had jumped out of the brooder and was running around on the floor! Glad I heard it before the dog did!! Made a better top for the brooder, although the other one should've sufficed. Guess not, eh?It was the one I think is from Olivia, a BCM. Hmm, those "bad" (as in Bad Charloote/Bad Olivia) genes seem to pass on; another trouble maker!!She is still trying to get in a tail, but it is so tiny. Never had this problem before. I had thought at first she was rumpless, but no, Pope's Nose is there, just not much in the way of feathers. Everything else on her is feathering in nicely.
