Step 5Step 5 - Finished
Once planted, your tower will look something like this. You may need to add a little more soil around each plant as you are putting them in, but leave at least an inch at the top of each pot so that when you water, the water does not run out too fast. You can mulch the pots to help prevent this.
To water, start at the top and water slowly. Pour the water on until it starts to run out. Stop watering that pot and go to the next. Continue until all pots have been watered. Wait several minutes then repeat the process. Clay pots tend to dry out quickly, so you can slow this down by sealing or painting the pots first and lining the inside of the pots with newspaper. You can also use water absorbing crystals in your potting mix. This tower may need to be watered twice a day if you have temps in the 90s or more.
