Cheap alternative to wet and dry vacuum

There's so many different ones I've seen but for instance this year in one of my new gardens I was having to hand water on nutrient days because this particular spot I had never grown like my other gardens where I grew for many years .....anyways I was fed up one day so I went and got a cheap pump stuck it in the tank and literally connected about 25 feet of line onto the pump and after that took a 6ft long piece of a bamboo stake and duct taped the hose to that so I could stand up and reach in between my plants without having to move them around and bend over a bunch ......looks ghetto as hell but works real nice for watering my girls in that particular garden

If your 36" tall plant is in a 2gallon container, sure youll have to water it every day. But if you pot up properly, a 36" plant in a 7 gallon container, 2 nights (a standard weekend away) youre plant is not going to dry up, Argue all you want, but theres no reason for normal people to not have normal weekends away, you dont need to stress about a plant and base your life around it. It is a weed, it will be perfectly fine for 48 hours

I'd buy a Stinger wet/dry vac about $35 here at Home Depot or online. Small, reliable, powerful enough.

Stop messing around a save yourself your time.

I'm not messing around, i'm looking to save money as i'm on a budget. i'm in the U.K and wet vacs are alot more expensive over here so it's not really an option for me right now. But thanks for your input

Umb actually it depends on pot size and temps ....I've known people that have had to water twice a day because they didn't grow in large pots that's not ideal ....but watering daily is not out of the norm at all ...and two days away from very large plants that need daily watering is enough to kill and or cause serious issues I totally disagree with you in that .....just sayin

I have to agree. My plants are all in 3 gallon containers and two of them i am having to water twice per day, if i left them for 48 hrs they would not be happy but at the same time i can see it being OK just...
