MOO Self Watering Plant Pots - June 2016

Was wondering how to keep my plants alive when I went away recently and was looking out for ideas - self watering plant pots are the way to go. Self-watering pots have the drainage holes up the sides of the pots rather than in the bottom so there is a reservoir or water in the soil in the bottom of the pot that the roots can find. I use ice cream tubs, milk bottles, large yoghurt buckets or any plastic container that has had food stuff in and drill a few holes around the sides and it becomes a self-watering plant pot.
