Review "I converted my beautiful pots of every size!! A great 'do it yourself' book.Showed me exactly how to convert my beautiful, EXISTING planters of EVERY SIZE to self-watering containers. The videos I have seen always leave out an important detail or two. The step-by-step instruction in this book was easy to understand and follow. The supplies were a cinch to find. Now there's no need to stretch the hose out to the far reaches of our yard. I am especially excited about having bright flowering pots in even the dullest corner of my yard where the hose and sprinklers barely reach! What a time saver this is going to be! The best $9.95 I've ever spent!" L. Petrillo "Great, Easy-to-follow Time Saver! I found this book to be a lifesaver. I love containers throughout my yard, but ended up only putting pots on the porch in a group because they're such a pain to water all the time. This book gave me the tools to be able to have containers anywhere in the yard by cutting down on the maintenance of them immensely. It's easy to follow the directions and they are explained well enough that even I could figure it out!It also makes fertilizing a snap. I highly recommend the book." Mary V.

Very happy with this little book." A. Cavada "This will be my second growing season using her techniques to convert my existing planters, not only for my outdoor garden, but my houseplants, as well. I have a small yard, so using decorative planters really allows me to create special areas. I have told others about this book and they have had great success, as well." C. Wolfe From the Author I learned early on that gardeners kill most plants because we either under water or over water. Self watering containers solve that problem wonderfully. But I was frustrated in that the self watering containers on the market were few and far between, not to mention boring. Plus the only ones I could find had reservoirs that were either too small or too big. And by the way, expensive! I couldn't see spending my hard-earned money on a container that really didn't do the job, especially when I had a collection of perfectly usable pots that I loved. So I came up with the idea of converting my stash of beautiful containers by using ordinary household items. I went even further and used my conversion technique on my houseplant containers which I was prone to neglect. Problem solved! Now I want to share this technique with you so you, too, can have t
