i hope everyone is doing ok in this heat...
so i have a lovely roof garden in brooklyn and i need some help/advise on watering while i am away. i will be away for 15 days and i do not have an outdoor water source. i use my kitchen sink and run a hose for daily watering. and now i am going to be gone and am not sure what to do... soooo, can anyone help me out? anyone have any genius ideas that will last 15 days in this heat?? or would anyone like to offer their services?? i can pay a little but not a lot. i am in greenpoint/williamsburg area, right off the BQE.
let me know if you can help...
thanks!! |

| Hi Garden Girl, Always a tough situation. If the hose can stay connected without alarming anyone - I went to Lowe's and bought an electronic watering timer ($25) and a few sprinklers ($5-10). The timer can be set to water anywhere from 15 min to 2 hrs a day, and you choose when you want it to water. It has worked out great for me. I have some other tricks, but nothing that will last 15 days in this heat. |
