That’s good. I won’t plant in containers again until I get an automatic watering system.
That’s a jerry-rigged manual system. Actually, semi-manual. I don’t know where she put it, but we had one of those timer valves attached last year. You turn the knob like an egg timer, turn the water on, and it’ll shut off when it hits zero. You still have to cut the tap off, but you won’t get a shower in the process.
