It's a nice dream but nearly impossible to do just for the water transportation alone. I'm sure that 2 week old plant that died went from lack of water rather than too much as dead wood is very porous. You guys just can't stick a plant in the ground and expect it to grow on its own. It'd be nice but it just doesn't work like that. It takes a lot of thought and planning (reality-type planning over the pipe dream kind) to bring in a crop, not to mention time, sweat and a few bucks always helps too...
