Container Gardening

Free: Plant watering cones

11 years ago

I have about 20 ceramic plant watering cones, fed by a tube from a water reservoir. (They don't come with a reservoir, but a jug or trough works fine.) Free for actual shipping cost, either as a group or in smaller quantities. Please send me an e-mail (click on "nygardener" above) if interested!

nycgardener,

Why are you giving them away? I had considered trying these out at one time. What was your experience with them?

They worked quite well -- you can see the reviews for more comments about them. It looks like Amazon sells something similar. I'm doing less container growing now that I have an outdoor "in-the-ground" garden, so I no longer need them, and I'd like to give them to gardeners who have a use for them.

These are now spoken for. For those who missed the announcement, Amazon has a similar-looking product.

Do this plant watering cones work with Al's gritty mix (1:1:1)?

They work by siphoning water from a reservoir into your planter. The potting soil can be whatever you like, but I wouldn't put anything in the water.
