People who love gardening are always looking for new and better ways to take care of their plants, preferably ones that don't harm the environment or break the bank.

These solutions guarantee that your plants receive the appropriate quantity of water with little waste, and they are also cost-effective and ecologically beneficial.
Step 1: A Buried Plastic Bottle for Slow-Release Watering
An adequate-sized plastic water bottle (2 liters)
Writing implement
Equipment with a sharp edge, such as an awl or a hot iron rod
Methods for Handling Water:
Bottle Preparation: Rinse the bottle and take off any labels. Make two marks on it: one at around 15 cm from the base and another at 10 cm from the nape of the neck.
Make a Water Drain: Create a little opening around seven centimeters from the base of the bottle.
Fill the Bottle: Press the cap firmly and fill the bottle with water until it reaches the bottom line.
Set the Bottle Down: After you've dug a hole close to the plant, bury the bottle all the way to the designated line, making sure the hole faces the plant.
Last Stage: Once the bottle is full, screw on the lid and fill it up to the top with dirt, making sure to leave the neck visible.
