I'm planning on building a trash-can system that I am going to put in the ground with only 6" sticking out of the ground. I am going to have it be a wick-style desert grow version. I am going to get some slow release soil and go check on it about every 2 weeks or so with 2 5 gallon containers of water.

I live in AZ and it is fucking hot and dry as hell here. Since my parents are divorced, I have two houses I live at (One normally then I go see the other about once a week or so and they are not home the majority of the time) so I am going to live at one, and grow behind the other. I am raising the plants from seed to where they are about 1' tall and have a decent stem/root structure then I am transplanting them into 3-gallon pots. I am going to raise them in holes behind my house before they go in the garbage can to grow up.


Well I am pretty stoned right now, no tourettes though, but anyways, I hope this message made sense to you guys.
Dr.Hashman Reviewed by Dr.Hashman on . Self Watering Pot Outside Setup... whadya think? I found this pot at SH Hydroponics > Outdoor Self Watering Wick Planter Basically it has a water reservoir underneath and some cotton wicks that poke up from it into the pot through holes in the bottom. I've heard these setups work great for household plants. The plant just sucks up water as it needs it. I'm thinking this will help reduce the frequency with which I've got to visit my plants to water. What do you think of this setup? I found a 15'x15' brier/thornbush patch in the Rating: 5
