We obviously don’t travel that much, but when I realized we would be gone a couple of nights with no rain and upper 90 degrees in the forecast, I googled low tech watering solutions.

Many sources said twine in a bucket of water to the plants. That the water would wick through the twine to the plant. I used kitchen twine. This did NOT work. I do not know what other kind of twine I could have used. I got lucky and the plants survived.

Do you have low tech container watering solutions? I don’t want to invest in timers etc considering we are not gone that often.

Here is another little tip… when roasting cayenne peppers, the small toaster convection oven is NOT a good option…. I knew that dehydrators also make the air very pepper spray like… but I didn’t think about the convection oven doing the same. Luckily I turned it off and carried it outside before any real damage happened.
