My plastic barrel container garden

6. watering

I water once a day, planning on running drip hose but have not gotten to it with the drain hole above the base it has reservoir capacity.

We vend at art shows and are gone a lot of weekends as long as I water until water is flowing out of the drain it will make the weekend even in a dry august. Once plants are established I put down newspaper and mulch, helps with water retention and no weeds to deal with.
