How long can a 2 Litre self watering pot last? Using recycled milk bottle


5 December 2015
This bottle was full 5 days ago. Now is day 6, the bottle still 30% water left in it. I think it can last 3 more days. This is a test to see if the pot can stand 10 days without watering. This method is cheap using recycled milk bottle to provide consistent moisture to the chilli pots.

10 Jan 2016 - Returned from holiday and find many of chilli pots still survived. Several rainy days and the self watering milk bottles saved them from withering.
