How do I build a sub-irrigated planter?
Harvesting vegetables successfully needs neither a big garden nor much work watering. In this blog post I describe how to build a planter with long-term irrigation out of a 30 l plastic container (a flower pot in this example), an onion planting tray, some fabric (from an old pair of jeans, for instance) and a garden fleece. A drill or a cordless screwdriver is a bonus, as it makes the drainage hole easier to make.
