Water indicator baskets are a great way to monitor the moisture levels in your soil, ensuring that your plants always have the right amount of water. They are simple to use and can be made from a variety of materials, making them a versatile and affordable option for any gardener.
Water indicator baskets work by using a wick to draw water up from the soil. The wick is made from a porous material, such as cotton or nylon, and is placed in the basket with one end in the soil and the other end extending above the soil line. When the soil is dry, the wick will draw water up from the soil and the water level in the basket will rise. When the soil is wet, the wick will not draw up as much water and the water level in the basket will fall.
