I did that last year and I couldn't keep up with it. Not to mention occasionally spilling water all over the floor. It was a mess! </div> Fern – I’m hoping this will be sufficient for the summer.

Carrying gallon jugs to the veggie plants every day. This set up appears to be simple and I will give it a try. If it works and I have a strong feeling it will the person who perfected this system must be commended for sharing his/her plan. Thank You! I have had the watering challenge for some time.

This is great, especially since it doesn't require access to a water spigot or an electrical outlet. Awesome Louise!!!
