Whichever of the options you choose, be careful of the surface on
which the operation stands.

I went away for a month, and grouped everything on plastic,
so my housemate could water easily. Came back to find hardwood floor
discolored due to leakage. Major PITA to r efinish!!!

I may have to do that again for a longer period. I'll either put
plants on the kitchen floor, or on a much thicker and better plastic
underlay. And warn housemate not to overwater!


Leave a measuring device, and tell the temporary plant servant to use it.

What kind of "measuring device"? The only one I know about is my
finger, stuck into the dirt. Seriously, please explain; thanks.
