I was thinking on how to rig up something to water plants with, and I only came up with a couple stupid ideas. One actually sounded to me like it may work, but if anyone has a good solid idea, it would help out.

My idea go's something like this:
I thought, maybe take something like a five gal bucket, and drill some tiny holes in the bottom. That way it could be filled with water, while sitting on the dirt, and the ground would slowly soak the water down. Kind of like a gravity feeding system...I have not tryed this yet, for I am waiting for better, non-acme like, designs. I am by no means an engineer, but if people start throwing ideas out, I will prob be able to come up with something.

My site is so far from a water source, so this would be particulary helpful to me.

Thanks,
