Product Information

Great for all containerised plants, including soft herbs, flowers and vegetable crops. They are sold individually, but you can also pair them up or cluster them for extra impact as shown. In some areas, you can hire a Christmas tree in a pot which will be delivered and then collected. Although you'll pay a premium for this service, it may be useful, especially if you don't have a car to transport your tree or find lifting and carrying difficult. You can leave your plants for several days when you’ve set them up with a self-watering container. Bottle drip system Seep hoses: These hoses or pipes with holes in them deliver water accurately to established plants and plants in rows. They can be hidden beneath soil or mulch, which also avoids evaporation losses. Water doesn’t move much sideways from seep hoses. Therefore the lengths of hose need to be positioned across plant root systems, such as going under a shrub, or the lines placed 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in denser plantings. They work best on heavy soil where the water spreads further sidewaysthan on lighter soils.

I don’t recommend watering the plant when the sun comes out. The water will evaporate much faster from the soil. And it might happen before the roots can get a sufficient amount of the moisture. Don’t water the plant as soon as you’ve placed it in the fresh potting soil. Don’t add fertilizer to the potting soil as this will stress the plant even further. One of the most important aspects of a potted plant is to have good drainage holes at the bottom. One of the common reasons for overwatering happens because pots don’t have them. You need to remove the soil from the roots but be careful so as to not damage the healthy roots. Use your fingers to break up the soil from the roots. Remove the soil that looks moldy or green.

Another way to tell when it is time to water an olive tree is to look at the soil or growing medium around the tree in question.

Filtered water starts out as plain tap water. You may already have filtered water in your home by way of a whole-house filtration system, a faucet filter or a water filtration pitcher (you can even get a filtered water bottle). Most filtered water passes through some combination of carbon and micron filters, which help to remove chemicals such as chlorine (commonly added to municipal tap water as a disinfectant) and pesticides, and metals like copper or lead. Filters can also eliminate foul odors and tastes.

A three-tiered flower pot fountain might sound too fancy to recreate in your garden. But you can easily build it with items from your local home centre or thrift shop. Next, turn the burner to somewhere between medium and medium-high heat. I tried to keep the heat level at a steady simmer -- somewhere between 180 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit -- and not a boil. Running a higher temperature won't get you a higher yield, but it will warm up the cold side of the lid faster, and make general handling of the equipment harder to deal with.
