Only works as long as there is pressure on the bottle. If you create a vent hole the water comes out too fast.
Please loosen or open the bottle cap for the water pressure. This little trick would work. Please try :)
It can also work when temperature changes throughout the day are large. As the air in the top heats up (don’t fill all the way), it expands and raises the pressure. I’ve done this in the summer and it works okay.
But if the water will come out too fast then the containers water will be finished very fast and then your plant will die
How long does it last
What if you put the drip holes in the bottom and then you can take the lid off to refill without having to take the bottles off
I tried that way too but water drips this way. This is just for an example. There could be many other ways. Please keep trying different ways. 😊
That sounds smarter. 👍
@@dr.dhakalis right. It needs to have a vacuum for it to work 😊

5/28/23- Now THAT is a clever idea, especially since it frees one up to do other things, even go out of town for a few days and not have to worry about your flowers or green plants or even if vegetables have been planted on a balcony. A drip system is a very good idea AND you can recycle your empty water bottles as well. If the bottles are zip tied down, just cut the bottom around but leave a quarter inch or 1 cm tab so it acts like a flap to slow down water evaporation. Make sure the hole in the lid is tiny or the water will runout to quickly.
Thank you 😊
It's too fast. At one drop every three seconds this system will dispense about 1.5 liters within one day, way too much for any potted plant of a movable size. Maybe fitting an IV flow regulator might help, have you tried that?
What about just using cups to catch water too
Keep it lower to the ground. Water hitting your plants leaves and stems can create mold, mildew, and other issues for your plants when the sunlight hits them. You want to keep the water low, so that it's not dropping into anything but your soil.
@@jamaraquai4224 Thank you for the detailed comment.
If you put the bottle directly in the pot, once the soil is saturated, it will stop the leak until the plant requires more water.
Thank you for your comment :)
That is how I do it but with glass bottles and not plastic bottles...
@@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND
What kind of glass bottles?

That's exactly how we do it; been growing food this way successfully for nearly 4 decades ✌🏾💫
Beautiful music.🎵🎶💃
Thank you 😊
wow good ideas thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for charing❤
@@munsiyayimboma2530 you are most welcome
Wow such a good idea
Thank you :)
Good idea 💡 I
Thank you! Cheers!❤
So when it runs out of water what do you do? Cut off all zip ties and refill and put all new zip ties?
This is just a sample video. You can creatively use varios options. Zip tie is only an option. You can use other types of threads too, such as nylon. Or, you can also drill another bigger hole at the bottom part of the bottle to refill the water so that you don't have to untie every time. Choose your best option.
@@dr.dhakal I bet at the time you put up this video, that was all you can think of. Usually when people put up videos, they show the best method they know.
You learned better ways by reading comments.

If you make a tube and attach the tube into a hole in the bottle, you can add a small valve. Silicone wherever is needed to prevent water leakage. Well, at least that's my idea when I have a plant in my room haha
Thanks for your comment 😊
or a string hanging down close to the soil so water won't splatter if it's inside
Please feel free to watch this video for EASY REFILL and Self-Watering System czcams.com/video/-1eX1gDz58E/video.htmlsi=VaVrsCgmH4uf38N3
Im going to try this , Ive got some plants troughs with no holes at bottom for smaller plant's fill with water
Please just give a try and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

What if i put a tissue in the hole and put it directly to the soil, will it work?
Yes, it works but with less frequency of drips. Don't hesitate to give a try and find more innovative ways.

water is coming tooooo fast.. empty in less than 5 minutes
You may want to drill small hole or use a small piece of cloth as a thread that goes through the hole. Thanks for your comment.
Super 👍😊 great work 👍
Thank you 👍
No hole in the bottom of the bottle to compensate for the resulting negative pressure? Otherwise, watering will quickly be over
@@Eisenkarl Alternatively, a small thread or twine could be used. Thank you for the comment
Wouldn't the vacuum actually stop the water coming out?
No, please give a try.
How often does a Litre bottle need refilling?
@@AllisonMoon-SheWandersFeral It depends on the size of the hole. If threads are used through the small hole, it could last a few weeks. Thanks for the question.
Does not work so simple. Better a woolen string into the the hole and keep an refill opening on that bottle
It worked for many people. Woolen string works well too.
My bottles water is not going like drops its going in straight line plss tell ?
Thanks for the question. You could make a bit bigger hole or perhaps use different type of bottles. It is hard without knowing all about it.
I also wanna know more context 😢 plant parents gotta help plant parents
@@thatonellamawhoissoobsesse8138 please let me know what do you want to know?
Oh i was actually asking for the original commenter to elaborate ^-^ but i really really appreciate that you went out of your way to check up on me
I actually quite like the channel and just saying you got a new subscriber!
@@dr.dhakal
@@thatonellamawhoissoobsesse8138 Thank you
I see you have a rain gutter. You can use tubes to pull water down and refill drip system when it rains
@@joshyyekonsire1 Yes!
Cool now refill it
@@DH-xh2wy Thank you
How to make it last for 2 week?😢
@@Arif_Raziq You may want to use a twine or thread and drill a small hole.
Mettre la bouteille dans l'autre sens et faire le trou en bas évidemment, comme ça vous n'avez qu'à la remplir sans la retirer 😉
Amazing 🙄
Iv tried this...but theres a problem . Algae forms inside the bottle after some time and the water stops.
Two options :
1. you may want to drill a few holes instead of just one.
2. Changing water more frequently.
Thanks for your comment.
I have a doubt sister what about the other places of sand it drops only one centre part

RIEGO POR GOTEO.
Constantly wet soil or not wet enough soil
You may want to make a bit bigger or smaller hole depending on more or less water dripping. You could also use a cloth thread as shown in other videos
Will this be enough to sustain the plant
Definitely not, plants need more than just water....one bottle of water could last from a few days to weeks. Please let me know if you have any questions.
How are you going to refill the water?
You may drill a hole on the other side of the bottle and refill water
@@dr.dhakal refill water through the hole ?
@@tdhtran yes! A bit bigger hole just to refill the water
Please feel free to watch this video for EASY REFILL and Self-Watering System czcams.com/video/-1eX1gDz58E/video.htmlsi=VaVrsCgmH4uf38N3
For how many days this system will be applicable???
Can it cover for at least 15-20days vacation??
It depends on the size of the hole you make...smaller the hole, longer the water would last. Thanks for the question.
@@dr.dhakal thanks for answering
@@dr.dhakaland the size of whichever receptacle used, of course 😊
how long does it last?
Mine lasts for about one to two week..After that, I refill the water 💧
Please feel free to watch this video for EASY REFILL and Self-Watering System czcams.com/video/-1eX1gDz58E/video.htmlsi=VaVrsCgmH4uf38N3
I like the part where they pour of bottle of water into an identical bottle.
Thank you

how long will one small bottle last?
About 2 weeks...please drill a tinier hole for a longer duration. Thanks for your question.
About one day if you can get it down to one drop every 10 seconds

Lasts a day and then what?
@@texnorton3494 It lasts more than a day if you drill a small hole or use a twine or thread. Please give a try and refill as needed
@@texnorton3494 For an easy refill, you may use this idea czcams.com/users/shortska5nqiaDlDs?si=Yu8DzXEemLpz6ulO
😄😄😄😄😄
You don’t even need a drill if you don’t have one those caps are easy to puncture with a pen a fork a screw driver or anything really
Yes, you are right ✅

This is eye sore in the garden. Might as well water the plant.
Thanks 😊
Seems to be an easier way to keep your plants watered if you have a busy schedule, and if you don’t have the means to setup a drip irrigation. I like the idea, because I travel a lot for work.
@@WhoEverYouLike07 This is another way : czcams.com/users/shortsr6BtyfN53Hs?feature=share
How do u water when you are out on vacation?
@@Solid_SnackWater will drip slowly from the bottle, which could be enough for about a couple of weeks.
why?
Trades active work time to passive work time
If you got a better solution please do tell

Saving plastic by using more plastic😅
We are NOT producing plastics. We are REUSING the existing plastic. Otherwise, those plastic bottles may land in the landfill. Can you please suggest any other better ways instead of just criticizing?
@@dr.dhakal was talking about the zipties. Could use natural rope instead
Those zip ties are REUSABLE too. You can easily open with a small knife and use them over and again.
@dr.dhakal It's so true. I'm guessing the other person who commented never knew you could reuse them. Great video I'll have to give it a try. 😊
@@octoberfox3399 Please feel free to watch this video for EASY REFILL and Self-Watering System czcams.com/video/-1eX1gDz58E/video.htmlsi=VaVrsCgmH4uf38N3
Can we just lay the bottle upside down directly on the soil? There doesn't seem to be a need to have a distance between the soil and cap? Requiring to tie the bottle high up will not work with smaller plants like herbs.
This is just a sample informational video Please try different ways creatively. Whatever works for you. Thank you.
@@dr.dhakal I can try whatever but I can also say whatever honest opinions I have, right? Why do Asians always want to control other people's speech, haven't they suffered enough themselves under dictatorships with no free speech? I'm an Asian myself by the way, so this is not racist comment but simply stating a factual observation.
In fact, if the hole is drilled on the bottom of the bottle it's even better, as the bottle can just sit straight up on its own without the need to support it being upside down.
@@CP-zb3ky Thank you for such a wonderful 👏 idea💡
It would have been nice if my previous message about free speech censorship wasn't deleted.
