Wicking potted plants

After looking at the Styrofoam box in my laundry for 3 weeks I have finally turned it into a self irrigating pot (SIP).  When Missy was still at her old school we learned how to do this during an after school activity. It's not difficult to do and there are many posts on the Web as to how to make them.




I also made a coke bottle SIP the other day with some lettuce seeds in it.
The Styrofoam planter has herbs in it, given to me by my mother-in-law. I was thrilled to get them and knew they were exactly what I had been waiting for to actually get my bee into gee and make the SIP.
I hope to post updates of the progress of both planters and some other adventures I have on the go.
