I water in the morning before the heat of the day comes on. I may also water in the evening if it is extremely hot out.

My smart watering tip is that I utilize a galvanized tub to house newly purchased starter plant until they get planted. The tub will hold excess water so that the plants won’t die before I get them planted even if a miss watering them for a day or two

I think whatever method you use the trick is to plan ahead. Know for sure how long you’all be away and how long the water in your solution will last.
Thanks for offering the giveaway!

This is amazing! I love to garden and this would change my life. Right now I water my small yard garden with a kids sprinkler toy, and then everyday my toddler and I walk 10 blocks to our 2 community garden plots…hes a trooper, but we will be happy when our car is repaired! I would be so greatful to be considered for this prize!

I use mulch and am about to replant with drought-resistant plants that require less water.

Love the idea of veg.pod! What a great idea. Also I love using Terracotta water feeders over the glass bulbs.

I’m not disciplined enough to water before work, so I try to water after work! If i’m going out of town, I either employ my best friend to water my plants, or I moved them under the edge of my deck to give them relief but where they’ll still get some water.
