Needed A Method of Watering That Didn’t Wash Seed Out of Trays

I’m getting lots of my vegetable garden seeds started and have been keeping them in my mini greenhouse sitting in the south-facing kitchen window.

The only problem I’m having, other than that’s the only window in our house that gets good sun for most of the day, is watering. My garden watering pot is too big to fit in the mini greenhouse shelves but it does have a nozzle that has plenty of small holes so the water doesn’t pour out in one big stream so it doesn’t make holes in the soil.

I have them in the house for as long as two months before they can be put in the garden and get a lot of watering. I’m tired of having seeds washed from the soil and holes being drilled in the soil of my starter plants.

The fix was pretty simple. I just create my own watering bottle which is just the right size for watering in the mini greenhouse without disturbing the soil.

Juice Bottle Gets Repurposed For Watering

I Think This Is A Useful Gardening Tips:

I doesn’t get much simpler than this. I took a plastic juice bottle that would have ended up in the local landfill and converted it into a watering can or bottle just by drilling some holes in the lid. I could have used a small nail and hammer if I didn’t have my new drill.

I did take a nail and hammered it into the cap and onto a board so that it would stay still while I drilled some holes. I could have just used the nail to do all the holes but it was so much faster and easier with my drill.

The holes are small enough that water just trickles out if I don’t give it a little squeeze. I can be as gentle as I want.
