11. Design Your Own Wicking Mechanism
Supplies needed: wick, water, and bowl
Making It Cost: $5*
Your garden may sustain significant harm if you allow seedlings to dry out. You can create your own wicking system to keep seedlings moist if you’re planning a trip or other extended absence. A large basin of water and a “wick” (fabric, rope, or yarn) are required.

Pour water into the dish. After that, insert one end of the wick into the water so far down that it touches the bowl’s bottom. Put the wick’s other end three inches down into the ground. Water is introduced into the soil by the wick, preventing seedlings from drying out and dying.
