Now for the real question. What's up with the water bottles? Honestly, I've seen this method on several blogs and on Pinterest, but Seattle Sundries does a pretty excellent job of detailing the how-to for the DIY. I skip the yarn step and make the hole in the bottle cap with a pair of sharp scissors (but I didn't let my kids make the hole).
The self-watering container is especially good for tomatoes because they like to have wet feet. I keep them in dollar store tupperware until germination, then add the 'bottom' of the pot once they go under the grow lights.
