While I love the large collection of plants and greenery that I’ve amassed outdoors on my patio and deck, when it comes to keeping the containers well watered (especially in the current hot spell), it can take a good while going back and forth with the hose and watering can each evening.
So when I heard about these terracotta watering spikes, £20.99, from Amazon, I was up for giving them a go to see if I could save some time on the daily watering routine. Plus with a long weekend away coming up and thinking about how to water plants when on holiday over the summer, I figure that any time-saving hack for keeping my plants hydrated and healthy while it’s hot is definitely worth a shot.
