The most familiar way to keep home plants, while we are absent, - ask for someone to water them. However, I am for the most rational and convenient solutions.
Flowers perfectly carry this type of food for more than three weeks. The essence of the system is that the moisture itself enters the roots of the plants in the quantity of quantity. And, as it turned out, to make such a useful thing for themselves, it takes not so much.
How to make a drip system of irrigation with your own hands?
We take a 2-liter bottle (the volume of water tank depends on the size of the pot)
Sut off the top
Subsequently the upper part will be inserted into the lower
Black marker rectangle width in 2 cm long bottle length and get a longitudinal rectangular hole
With a syringe on 2 cubes (no more, because other thicker needle) cut off the nozzle, we clean the surface with a knife, supfyl or large sandpaper
Sparkling with a fixture laying hole in the bottle cap and cut the influx
Clean the cork with large sandpaper
The thin layer of adhesive is applied to the lid (with a break of 20 minutes) and the nozzle of the syringe, we apply an additional layer of glue to the connection
The rim at the needle cut off so that the connection was hermetic
Take the needle through one of the tubes and connect them
We wear the resulting long tube on the nozzle on the lid, insert the entire design into the bottom of the bottle of the needle
Scotch complaining a strip that secure the position of the tube with a needle
Ready!
Watering speed in such a system is 1 drop per second. Thus, 10 cubes of water drip around 8 minutes. It does not cover the roots of plants access to air, which is especially important. Before leaving, the homemade system should be tested in order to definitely not worry about the home garden, being far from home.
