I am a gardner, farm raised, animal loving person. Love to reuse and recycle as the world is becoming crouded. Lots of things to learn and somethings to teach, maybe.

If doing this right in the dirt outside in the garden, or just anywhere you have plants that dry out fast, put the bottle closer to the plant and your go to go for 4 days. As the soil dries, it releases air into the bottle and then releasing the water back into soil.
