Going on vac? make your own plant watering devices.

I'd probably make only ONE small hole to slow down the drip speed for, say, a two week vacation.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I was going to ask whats wrong with putting them in plastic bags...... Then i looked around my house, and wondered how hard it would be to bag up 100+ houseplants, ranging from a foot tall to 7 feet...... LOL Thats more plastic then makes up Joan Rivers!
