    you could set up a drip system but to do that you would need some tubing a resovior a pump flow regulator(s) and a powersource maybe a carbattery and a fuse box and the water pump from a car but i have noidea how long the battery will last then ya not only be bringing 100lb o water out every couple of weeks but a fresh 50lb battery sound like a bitch to me ... but to each his own if ya wann bring 100+ lb of shit to ya op every two weeks ya a better man then i

    Saturate the shit outta the soil first by making a small bowl shaped dirt crater around the stem. The crater should be as wide as the plants are, so you will enlarge them as they grow. FIll it with water til its saturated.

    Take several 2 liter soda bottles, fill with water. Seal cap tight.

    Drill the smallest holes you can...2 or 3 in the plastic bottle cap.

    Turn the bottle upside down. Now drill 2 or 3 holes in the bottom of the bottle.

    Test your holes and your drip rates and adjust accordingly. You want the bottle to empty in about 7-10 days. This will allow dry time before you refill.

    Dig the dirt and bury the bottles so the water dripping will still be at root level. As the plant grows, you will be able to bury the entire bottle.

    You can use any bottle...milk jug, soda bottles, water bottles...build us as the plants grow.

    Some soil may need three bottles per plant...some less. Heat will also play a role, so get your bottle now and start testing drip rates now.

    The wick method described above will work indoors but not outdoors as the wick will dry in the air first.

    Start testing your drip rates. That is the key.

    By spring you'll be ready.

    ***DO NOT USE CHEM FERTS IN PLASTIC BOTTLES.***

    Make a wick system. See Hydroponic section.

    Or

    Use Kitty Litter as a growing medium.
    It can be done.:jointsmile:
