Gardener shares ‘genius’ trick he uses to water plants

A TikTok user shared a gardening hack that makes watering even easier. Known as @thebalancedfoodsblog on social media, she said you need a bottle of wine to get started.

Green-fingered people then need to purchase terracotta watering tips, which can be found on Amazon or Temu for just £12. She explained that her outdoor space doesn’t “have a fancy irrigation system” and she often doesn’t have time “to water daily.”

So instead, she soaks the spikes in water and then puts an old bottle in the hole when the spikes were already in the ground. The woman said, “These terra cotta watering tips work so wonderfully.

“You just want to soak them in water and then you’re going to fill an old wine bottle with water.” This simple but effective trick also works wonders for “garden beds,” she added.

”They are so efficient and so functional.” For my planters it takes about a week, and for the garden beds, about three days.”

She warned that they “can get clogged” and advised others to “check in every now and then”, reports The Sun. One fan wrote: “Oh so you’re telling me I need to drink more wine. to help my garden grow!

Another said: “Most brilliant thing I’ve seen in a while.”
