Beginner Gardening: How do you water your plants? Indoors and in the greenhouse., 1 by tapla

The channels come in 8' lengths and are used for vinyl siding applications. I just nested several lengths together and dropped a cut-off saw through them and cut them into about 2 or 2-1/2" lengths; but you can use your imagination and use anything that will raise your pots above the effluent.

I DO fertilize every time I water, with a weak fertilizer solution. I use just a little less than 1/4 tsp (about 12 drops) of Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 per gallon of water. It works exceptionally well for me, and my plants stay healthy all year long.

In the summer, when all plants are outdoors, I don't water any differently, even though I fertilize weekly then. I just have too many plantings in the summer to fertigate by hand every time I water. When plants are outdoors, I flush the containers with a hose each time I water and fertilize weekly when growth and temperatures warrant. Indoors, I maintain around 100-125 plants, & I can manage fertigating them by hand, every time I water.
