Today’s Garden Ideas

Marc over at The Garden Desk lives in Kentucky (zone 6). Like many of us in the southeast, his garden is currently suffering from an ongoing drought. Marc has found a great way to water his garden by recycling his milk jugs. In essence, you puncture the side of the jug with a small pin to create a trickle of water near your plant. I’ll leave it for Marc to show you the details – complete with pictures.

Hope this helps! It’s certainly cheaper than buying a soaker hose, (and more environmentally friendly since you’re recycling). If you go to Marc’s site, be sure to wish him a happy birthday! He celebrated his special day with a beautiful tomato – not common for this time of year in his zone! Take a look at his feat at birthday tomato.
