Self-watering gardens are a cinch to DIY with almost any kind of container, from an empty soda bottle to an 18-gallon storage bin, but there are plenty of pre-made versions, too.

Supply List:

• Tidy Cat kitty litter container (38 lb size)
• 4″ perforated corrugated drainage pipe
• 1-1/2″ PVC pipe
• Potting soil

Whether you call them sub-irrigation planters or self-watering planters-the way they function is the same. Water is held in a reservoir and capillary action delivers water into the growing medium keeping your planters consistently moist. Head to instructables.com via the link below for full details…
