| 5 Gallon Watering Can |
|
Save energy, care for new trees and conserve water in one easy step. Convert discarded 5 gallon buckets into slow release watering devices. Drill holes in the bottom of the bucket. Set several (trees need 10 gallons of water for each diameter inch of the tree) around the base of the trees. Fill with water. The water slowly moistens the soil below where it is needed, eliminating water lost to evaporation and run off. |
