Self watering planters, also known as sub-irrigated systems, make watering easy by using wicking action to water your soil from below. They keep soil evenly moist, especially when combined with some mulch on the soil surface and are perfect for finicky plants that love consistent watering.

This design is not only cheap, but it’s easy to make in about 20 minutes. You can clone it and build an entire network of self watering pots. I included a few modifications that might help you manage your bucket better, too!
