I also have another tip. It has to do with house plants, though. If you are like me, and love having plants, but forget to water them on occasion, here's a very simple thing to do. Take a 20 ounce plastic soda bottle, poke holes in the bottom and sides of it, place on your potted plant, fill it up with water, and viola! You have an instant irrigation system for your houseplant. Just refill when all the water has emptied out of the bottle.
