Not these days. People, these days, do not get to know their neighbours like they did in the old days. Your neighbours might clear all your worldly goods out of your house.

Good for a laugh but all he's done is used Tech to replace a bit of string.

How so...

Take the top of the bottle of water. Get rid of the rest of the crap 'cept the plant of course. Put the bottle on something higher than the plant. Get a wet piece of string or perhaps a candle wick and bury one end into the soil. Put the other end into the bottle. Gravity will slowly water the plant as it requires it. String needs to be absorbent.

Get a bigger water container, more wicks. Place the plants around a central column with the water container on it. Now you can water all the pot plants.

It works, try it...
