Dollarama is likely quite happy with me! I discovered their watering globes back in May of 2010 and have been experimenting with them ever since. We spend upwards of five weeks at a time away from our permanent residence to enjoy our vacation home. That leaves the dilemna of houseplant watering. In our case, this is not a huge issue as our kids look after the house while we are away but I'm working on re-establishing my extensive houseplant collection in our new home. Watering globes make perfect sense!
The watering globes I'm buying come in two sizes with the large one costing $2 and two of the smaller ones costing the same price. The watering bulbs will keep each plant watered up to two weeks. That means instead of the kids having to water my houseplants weekly they will only need to refill the watering bulb once during a four week period. This is a lot less work for them! There will still be a few trays of houseplants that will need to be watered individually but for the most part the watering the kids will need to do will be minimum. Next I will be working on a self watering DIY system for my houseplants. That way they will be rather self sufficient when we are away!
Happy Gardening!

Looking forward to hearing more about your DIY watering system.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder how those globes work without all the water coming out at once.
Have a great day!
