    Comments about Self-Watering Conversion Kits:

    Just bought my second gallon size. I didn't want to worry about water draining onto my wood floor and this works perfect. I would use for outdoor pots as well. I had to scrape away some of the residue plastic on the top of the reservoir grate and added holes in the three "feet" to allow for more root access to the water, but very easy to do.

                Having acquired so many containers throughout the years, this product has allowed me to convert those to self-watering, making care of their contents much easier for me as I've gotten older. Began using them when they first became available and always keep spares on hand to have for additional containers.

                        I've retrofitted existing outdoor planters with these and they work really well. I water less frequently and the planters don't dry out as readily. Great product.

                          Use this when you FIRST put a plant in a pot or when changing to a larger pot. Don't use with plants that should dry out between waterings. This has saved me many trips up and down the stairs to water indoor plants and has saved plants that would not have survived the longer trips I occasionally take.

                          It came at the right time. Hottest summer yet and I was going on vacation. It saved many of my plants outside that I would have lost due to the heat. I did have to buy some extra pots to fit watering kits. But it was all worth it when I came home and saw my plants still alive and thriving.

                            Great for large pots that you don't know when you will be able to water or for poor drainage pots(older ones).
