My husband was just telling us the other day abot someone at his work that uses the rain water irragation to water his plants and then I see this self watering planter. What a super idea but it seems to require a lotof work to make one so maybe I can recruit someone to make some. This will keep the plants from drying out or getting to much water. If you are real passonite about gardening then this may be for you.

This is such a unique idea! I have to make this!
