A GARDENING fan has shared how she created a self-watering system for her plants using just a wine bottle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plus it\u2019s perfect if your plants need more attention than you can give them during the hot weather.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Christine Lan shared her hack in a TikTok video online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI use this wine bottle as a DIY irrigation system to water this plant because my hose can't get here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Obviously you want your wine bottle to be empty and rinsed through for this hack to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You fill the bottle up with water and quickly dunk into the soil next to your plants in your garden that need watering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Christine said: \u201cFlipping the bottle upside down is the secret here \u2013 it's like a built-in control valve for water.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe water doesn't gush out because of the way it's angled.\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll want to make sure the wine bottle is at a 90 degree angle so completely upside down.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than all the water gushing into the soil in one go, it's a gradual and gentle release over the course of a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n

It's kind of like your plant's personalised hydration process.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This irrigation system is ideal during hot weather because it means you don\u2019t have to spend a lot of time watering your plants.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is also a great hack to use when you don\u2019t have access to a hose or when you're spending a long time away from your plants.\u00a0<\/p>\n Christine said: \u201cSome people say they even use this trick when they go on vacation. This way their plants can stay hydrated when they can't tend to them.\u201d<\/p>\n The gardening fan\u2019s video racked up over 768,000 views.\u00a0<\/p>\n One user said: \u201cThese and ollas are great ways to Water when there\u2019s a drought or active watering restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another said: \u201cInnovative.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood looking out,\u201d said a third.\u00a0<\/p>\nA stability moon means friends & family harmony can happen faster than you think<\/h3>\n
