April Maker Challenge #21/30 : miniWaterTower

WHAT: you know these little water reservoirs you stick in soil? i think they are called "glass plant watering bulbs". they look like this:yeah. i wanna make something like that. but out of cheap, everyday materials available out of the home. i *sometimes* neglect to water my plants.

OBJECTIVE: make a little water reservoir system that keeps my plants (in the short term) quenched. try and achieve a decent flowrate. hopefully hyrdrostatically pressure sensitive - so it doesnt just keep flooding these bastards.

HOW: science! and household appliances. i have hotglue, some water bottles (and wine bottles) - maybe the use of some cork and plastic tubing might be useful.

APPLICATION: water. my. plants.
