Lowes $11 trash container


Lowes 34 gallon container with a flat side which would be easier to attach a hose fitting.


The fitting must be attached as low as possible on the trash container or tote box. This will allow gravity to empty most of the water in the container through the valve controlled by the timer. The timer is powered by three 'AAA' batteries.


Multiple containers may be use if more water is required. A 'tee' can join two containers, or many conatiners may be daisy-chained together to hold as much water as required. It is very important to have water tight connecters at the bottom of the container, otherwise the water will drain and will not be available to water your plants as many days as you figured on this setup providing water for your plants.
