It’s something similar. It’s like a self-watering flower pot, but the container is 90 L and it’s also topped with nop film. The nop film serves against overheating of the substrate and sawdust, as a water absorber, which works very well. The ash leaches into the sawdust and is a source of minerals.
I’ll post some photos of how I do it.
-
The container is - 90 L. I do not recommend smaller.
-
Stud foil - 0.5 x 2 m
-
Strip of nop film - 15 cm x 2 m, against overheating of the elevated part where the compost will be.
-
Fasten the lower part inside the container with a paper clip.
-
Press the sawdust about 5 cm from the top of the container.
-
I cut and align the stud foil about 15 cm from the top of the container.
-
I pour about a 3-5 cm layer of ash.
-
I added about 5 cm of compost on top of the ashes.
-
I put the plant on compost and
cover the roots with compost, up to the top of the nop film. -
I put on a strip of stud foil.
-
I drill a hole, about 15 cm from the bottom of the container.
-
A non-woven fabric can be put on top, against unnecessary steam.
-
At the beginning, water more and more often.
