I know i'm probably pretty late to this hack, but better late than never right? A few weeks ago, I came across a video of plant expert and author Hilton Carter on the Rachel Ray show, where he demonstrated the infamous 'self-watering plant hack' and well, I was amazed — I still am!
For those who may not know, 'this hydropic method, commonly referred to as a wick system, involves using a rope or string to transfer water from a reservoir to the roots of a plant,' Hilton explains to me. 'The idea behind this method is that the string acts as the conductor of water which slowly transfers water over a long period of time'.
