Why Plants LOVE Rain Water

Описание: This is a clip from a longer video with the description below:

Learn a simple trick for a quick and easy DIY drip irrigation system, perfect for discreet guerrilla growing. This method is ideal for watering plants on the go! Also discover how to fertilize your plants for free (with urine!) using this system with just a plastic bucket, making it great for thrifty neighborhood foresters.

Enables you to effectively irrigate new plantings in their establishment period; without the cost, headaches, and plastic of conventional drip irrigation systems. If you first plant the rain, once your plantings are established, you cease all supplemental irrigation, as the passively harvested rainwater and stormwater will be more than enough.


You can buy the new full-color editions of my books "Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond" at deep discount, direct from me, here:

Other sources of free plastic buckets with metal handles:
• Painting contractors (my neighbor is one)
• Roofers (elastomeric roof paint buckets work great)
• Solar panel installers (they typically use a lot of elastomeric paint when installing solar panels on roofs with elastomeric paint, and they tend to have buckets in 3-gallon [11-liter] size as these are easier to carry up and down ladders than 5-gllon [20-liter] size)
ASK the painters and roofers to give the buckets a quick rinse after emptying them - as this will give get you much cleaner buckets.
