I came up with this watering system to water some plants in out of
 the way places...  It helps if you are aware of how a siphon works...
 The number one thing is that your reservoir is above your outlet stand...
 I built this at The TechShop in San Jose California...

Ok you need an empty clean soda bottle, 1/8 inch od. vinyl tubing(available at hardware store)
 and all the kynex shown in the picture...  A tool to heat up and poke 2 holes slightly smaller then
 1/8 inch in your bottle cap...
