need suggestions on watering my plants

[bickeybammer]

i just put a couple bonsai mother plants out door a couple days ago.. i setup a drip system with a 5 gallon bucket and drip lines.. i have to fill the bucket every 2 or 3 days... my question is is there another way of watering my plants? where i can go out there like once every 2 weeks or even once a week

so bring a few gallons to the 50 gallon bucket at a time...

If its close to your house you could hook something up with timed pump or sprinkler to water your plants.

Im putting my winter long vegged mothers in pots and in a stealth spot somewhat near a small crick I can carry 4 5 gallon buckets to my starting spot and make two quick trips and have a few gal for each mother I also can add my nutes right to the buckets. Its not distilled water but its pretty fresh and has natural minerals in it

You can buy these things called water spikes. Don't know about U.S but yeah they are just little 10 inch or so spikes that you stick in the ground around the plants that have this gel stuff in em and it keeps the soil moist, apparently waters them for about 2 weeks but I haven't timed it. This could accommodate the drip system.
