Step 7Enjoy!
That concludes the construction of this project... now you are ready to plant your flowers or veggies and enjoy the benefits of this automatic watering system. I was going to calculate how much energy the system uses... but frankly I never saw any noticeable increase in the utility bills. I did notice that our water bill was almost 10% lower from not needing to water the plants daily.
All in all this was a fun and benifical project... it saves precious resources, makes you work less in the garden, and because the water contains no chlorine... your vegetables taste much better and the plants don't yellow as much.

Great Idea! If you want it to be a bit more visually pleasing, you could look up an instructable on how to make PVC tubing look like Bamboo! (It looks amazing)

Sadly out here in the desert, we rarely get more than a cup or two of water from our ac-units. and we are more likely to have (Evaporative coolers aka Swamp-Coolers) anyway.
