Melinda's Garden Tips for Early July
Many gardeners can’t find a caretaker for their container gardens while on vacation. Make your own. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water. Run strips of cotton or old stockings from the water to the soil in the pots. The water moves from the bucket through the wick to keep the soil moist. Test the system before leaving on your trip.
