DIY Self Watering Planter and Starting Strawberries From Seed

In this video I do a step by step guide on how to make a DIY self watering planter for plants.

It's made of 1 water bottle, some soil, and a strip of cloth.

Adhesion causes the water to stick to the cloth, and cohesion makes the water stick to each other creating a capillary action making the water climb up the cloth to the soil, and climb up the soil with the same process.

I demonstrate this with 2 tools, being a screwdriver, and scissors.

I also show an update of my garden.

NEW ADDITIONS OFF CAMERA

-Added mulch around corn, strawberries, and onions because there wasn't enough leaves in my backyard.

-Added more seeds to the onion bed since a lot didn't germinate

Planting Times:
Green Onions and Candy Onions June 14
Carrots and Sweet Corn June 15
Potatoes June 16
Strawberries planted June 20th
Marigolds July 2nd
Strawberries in Bottles July 3rd
