如何：自澆水種子入門盆

幾個星期前的女孩和我做了一個項目，我一直在享受著每一天，因為。我們另作它用2升的瓶子，並把他們變成了自我澆水開始我們的西紅柿和黃瓜室內種植。他們已經坐在我的辦公桌附近的窗台上，我一直看著他們成長每一天。它得到了完美的無賴的天氣，我們已經在西雅圖的解毒劑。

我已經嘗試開始種子多年來的室內幾種不同的方式。到目前為止，這是我最喜歡的方法，因為土壤水分含量總是完全正確的，它很容易用肉眼看，加水種植時，它的時間。有沒有猜測的成分和植物似乎更喜歡它。

下面是我們如何使他們：

您需要2升瓶，盆栽土壤，種子，粗弦或紗線（棉或聚似乎工作），十字螺絲刀，錘子，鋒利的刀片削減瓶。

削減一半的瓶子。

使用十字螺絲刀和錘子打一個孔，在瓶蓋的中心。

切紗/字符串的長度1'-1 .5'長，雙擊它的一端打一個循環。

主題的紗線/字符串通過瓶蓋中的孔，這樣的結是在蓋的內側上。這將作為燃燒芯，從下面的盆和入土壤取水。該工廠將採取什麼需要，使土壤水分會被完美地調節。

瓶蓋和鳥巢頂部的瓶體的基礎上，把蓋子背面。作為植物生長和使用的水，你可以抬離頂部添加更多的基地，而不是澆在土壤中。由於土壤乾燥，水會被吸入的字符串放入鍋中。

您的瓶標，你還記得你種什麼。:-)

盆栽土壤和種子...

水....

您需要用水的土壤，從頂部第一次以確保它是均勻地潤濕和該字符串是濕的。否則，水的表面張力，將防止從正常工作的整個事情。

...並等待。

AHHHHH。春天來了！

How To: Self-Watering Seed Starter Pots

A few weeks ago the girls and I did a project that I've been enjoying every day since. We repurposed 2 liter bottles and turned them into self-watering planters for starting our tomatoes and cucumbers indoors. They've been sitting on the window sill near my desk and I've been watching them grow every day. It's been the perfect antidote for the bummer weather we've been having here in Seattle.

I've tried starting seeds indoors several different ways over the years. So far this is my favorite method because the soil is always exactly the right moisture level and it's very easy to see with the naked eye when it's time to add water to the planter. There's no guesswork involved and the plants seem to love it.

Here's how we made them:

You need 2 liter bottles, potting soil, seeds, thick string or yarn (either cotton or poly seems to work), a Phillips screwdriver, hammer, and a sharp blade to cut the bottle.

Cut the bottle in half.

Use a Phillips screwdriver and a hammer to punch a hole in the center of the bottle cap.

Cut a length of yarn/string about 1'-1.5' long, double it over and tie a loop on one end.

Thread the yarn/string through the hole in the bottle cap so that the knot is on the inside of the cap. This will act as a wick, drawing water up from the basin below and into the soil. The plant will take only what it needs, so the soil moisture will be perfectly regulated.

Put the cap back on the bottle top and nest the top of the bottle in the base. As the plants grow and use up the water, you can just lift off the top to add more to the base instead of pouring it over the soil. As the soil dries, water will be sucked up through the string into the pot.

Label your bottle so that you remember what you planted. :-)

Add potting soil and seeds...

Water....

You need to water the soil from the top the first time in order to make sure that it is uniformly wet and that the string also is wet. Otherwise the surface tension of the water will prevent the whole thing from working correctly.

...and wait.

Ahhhhh. Spring!
