Here's how to make an "aqua globe" that requires far less filling!
I'm growing a hydrangea and a hibiscus on the west side of the house. This area gets brutal afternoon sun and the solution was 2 Gatorade bottles, 3 feet of 1/4 inch vacuum line and a stand for my "plant IV's". The Vacuum lines go down into the main root-ball about 5" below the soil level and the plants intake only the amount of water that they need each day. The water will dispense
from the container only in somewhat dry conditions and requires filling about every 4 days. Very cheap to make and works like a champ!
