FOR THE SAVE

Reduce time wrangling hoses (and save H2O) with selfwatering AquaPots, which use 75 per cent less water than other drip irrigation pots. Smaller AquaPots can go at least a week between waterings, while larger pots can last up to one month. The enclosed watering system protects patios and decks from water stains and fertilizer leaching, and provides plants with the consistent watering they love, and the pots’ ceramic exteriors come in various shapes, colours and finishes.

AquaPots by Proven Winners, from approx. $389 each. Through AquaPots.

An overflow valve ensures plants cannot be overwatered, even after heavy rain
