It's a bit like the other solution (which I haven't tried) where you put a one end of a piece of thick rope in water, and the other end in the soil; the soil sucks the water through the rope as needed.<br /><br />Potty - It's a tough call. My mum only waters her indoor plants once a week but in Chicago, where it's dry for a lot of the year, I have to do it every other day.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-18060977355544363412013-06-06T09:49:06.517+01:002013-06-06T09:49:06.517+01:00I'm surprised it doesn't over-water them.....I'm surprised it doesn't over-water them... but I trust your report.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-87339785385513887732013-06-06T08:53:58.808+01:002013-06-06T08:53:58.808+01:00I'm with Gigi.

That's right, I measure it. When I'm out of the country, I give the container to someone I trust with very strict instructions. I don't know if I can get a need gadget like you are showing here, but I am going to start looking immediately. I may have more faith in it.

So fabulous that I may steal it and use it ALL the time since *someone* (cough, cough - me) can never seem to remember to water the plants on a regular basis anyway.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.com
