Clay pot watering for the garden.

When the water gets rare and you need to save it, or when you just want to go away for a few days and not have to worry about your garden drying out, self-watering techniques are a life-savers!

I find the clay pot watering technique particularly elegant. Bury an unglazed clay pot into your garden soil, fill it with water and plant your herbs and vegetables around it. Water will be sucked into the soil through the porous clay and plants will develop their roots to “wrap” the pot. Very little water will be lost to evaporation!
