How do you water your plants?

[HiOazo]

I currently water my plants by filling containers - just curious, do you guys use irrigation systems or something similar?

Hi oazo dot com is a website selling a "programmable waterer. "

So,

Is this your once a month visit to TEG to sell that machinery?

I use a programmable watering system that can be controlled by computer, iPhone, many devices , called b-Hive.
If it rains the weather report is programmed into the system and doesn’t water. The same for drought conditions the program reports if soil is dry or to much water. It takes the quessing game outta watering, especially during the current climate change. Helps to know just how fast the soil dries out in high temps during the summer since our climate change our temps are now hitting 90’s to 100 temps in the PNW. Which were extremely unusual in the past.
Very hand dandy when it’s vaca time.

I still water by hand with garden hose. I would like to try other ways if not to complicated.

i once had an automatic fish feeder. i made sure it was set up and tested before i went away for a few weeks and asked a friend to watch the tank to make sure it didn't get too low on water. came home to fish tank about half empty, the water was pea green and all the fish food was gone (it should have been enough to last a few more weeks).

amazingly enough the fish were fine.

what this has to do with plants and watering i'm not sure other than to say perhaps watering technology has come a long ways further in the past 25 years...

I still keep 4 goldfish in a 10 gal. tank. The cats keep drinking the water by the filter, and every week some evaporates. I am not at all surprised that the water was 1/2 gone.
Right now, I fill up a big pitcher of water that has been double filtered, through the whole house filter and our water filter, then leave it out overnight, just to be sure that any chlorine has evaporated.
Tomorrow I need to fill it again.

That is some high tech watering system!
