Spent the day playing around with little bolts to put this together. Should extend my growing window by a month, won’t be able to extend end of season I think though.

    Only cheaper if they survive a few rotations haha.

    They’re double cupped, so inside cup has a hole, second cup collects the water. As these were and still mainly inside in my tents.

      I’ve had mine going for three years and they seem to be holding up as well as the cheap poly grow pots, so woo. I keep my starts in a tray to keep the extra water and keep the bottoms moist if I miss a watering.

        I’ll likely do something like that in the cold frame, swamp watering or bottom watering does have some advantages! It’s so dry here I don’t think the solo cups will last a whole day.
