Georges' Bucket Watering System<br />

For when an irrigation system is not practical<br />

All you need is some buckets <strong>and</strong> a source of water<br />

This system greater reduces per plant h<strong>and</strong> watering time <strong>and</strong><br />

still allows a slower, deeper watering.<br />

Each bucket has 2 holes in it 6" apart. This is recommended to prevent blockage.<br />

Hole sizes <strong>and</strong> number of holes can vary. These hole sizes are given as reference points.<br />

The buckets were level for these references.<br />

Buckets of a significantly different depth will empty at a different rate. Width is not as important<br />

Hole sizes can be different to achieve intermediate flows or times.<br />
