self-watering of tomatoes plants

In my bid to promote self watering of my tomatoes I have filled a couple of empty milk bottles, made a hole with a heated NEEDLE (so we are talking about a tiny hole) underneath hoping that the water would last at least a couple of days, and placed the bottle next to the tomato plant... The 6 pints bottle was empty after about three hours! What have I done wrong? I did leave the lid on. Other suggestions? The hole may not be so tiny as you believe. Or, if you are filling the bottles fully with cold water, they may be pressurizing when placed in the sun and literally start spraying their contents. |
