Welcome to our Agriculture Section wherein we will focus our studies regarding recent discoveries in technology.
This time we will tackle the Self-Watering garden.
It is a breakthrough in agriculture wherein we use technology to improve gardening and vegetable growing.
This model makes use of the principles of hydro-phonics.
As its name implies, this model will utilize the principle of evaporation to automatically water the plants. By watering the plant pot once, the system will be triggered to automatically start the water cycle, thus keeping the plant hydrated.
How will this happen? The soil above will absorb the water evaporating from the water below. This means that the water absorbed by the plant will be gradually replenished by our semi-hydro-phonic system and the process will continue as long as there is water underneath.
I have seen plants grow strong & healthy through this system. Seedlings were able to grow their roots to reach the part where water is stocked, making it greener and vibrant. Plant under this system is proven to be more resistant to heat.
HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE SEMI- HYDROPONIC GARDEN
Making a garden using this technology is easy.
In fact, you can create one using daily household trash like empty plastic bottles, cans, plastic cups, used sacks and plastic bags. But in this example, empty plastic bottles will do perfect for this purpose since 1 bottle is enough to create one semi-hydroponic plant pot.
PROCEDURE:
By using this system, we will be able to minimize our wastes since we are using used containers and plastic bottles. Remember that we should recycle in order to help protect the environment, minimize pollution, and to conserve our natural resources.
This system can help you turn your waste materials into something productive, produce something healthy and delicious and even profitable!
we made this article to educate people about the importance of Zero-Waste Management.

PROCEDURE:
- Get an empty plastic bottle.(1 gal, 1 L, or even smaller)
2. Cut into halves.
3. Put the bottom half of the bottle on top in a manner that it will cover the mouth of the bottle.
4. Once they are tightly fitted to each other, turn them upside-down. Your system is ready to use.
