I make mini ollas myself using the same method you describe. Works good for smaller pots. As far as fabric grow bags. Watering spikes do work but you must place them closer to the center of the pot and nearer to the plant. The plant will attach roots to the spike and form a mat around it. However, you will find that you will have to fill the bottle regularly and more often as the soil dries faster and you will lose moisture to evaporation. Water hungry pants in grow bags may require more spikes. Bottom watering grow bags tends to be better in hot windy weather and for water loving plants.

@@jorbinsnoted3579 thank you!!

I have grow bags and a customer at my local garden center said to place them on a big saucer. Not only does it add stability, but when the water runs out of the bag, it fills up the tray and the pot can absorb water during the day. I’ve seen some people use wading pools for them. (Just don’t fill the pool with too much water.) I have these spikes but haven’t tried them in the grow bag. I think if they don’t work, it would be because they might fall over. I bet if you put some 3-4 plant stakes (dowels, bamboo, etc) around the terra cotta water spikes to hold up the bottles, they’d work great. (As a side note, I do have these watering spikes in my actual garden and did a test on two lantanas. The one with the spike is much healthier than the one without.) Good luck.

@@lizhyrkas3989 Agree. Get a saucer for grow bags. On a side note, I did a test with milk jugs and a wicking rope circling my squash and zucchini this year (in ground). I buried the wicking rope a few inches underground circling the plant. I top off the jugs with water once a week to week and a half and add a bit of water soluble fertilizer. Never top watered them at all so far this year. Only when it rains do they get top watered. Those plants are huge and healthy!

@@jorbinsnoted3579, great idea. Did you just use a cotton rope or a webbing like they use in kerosene lamps (or what)?

Update: I found some glass recycle bins in my town and went bin diving and found exactly the bottles I wanted. That was a lot more productive.

yes it does, but some of it will keep on the clay wall, but also will eventually be absorbed by the roots

From my understanding one minor issue with terracotta water spikes is that they may accumulate salt that clogs up the their porous walls. So adding a water soluble fertilizer into them may possible clog up the walls inhibiting the flow of water. Probably best to do more research first, but it sounds like a great idea if it works and doesn’t clog the holes!

Same question. Why will this not work with a grow bag?

@@poppew you could probably use them in a full grow bag if you were using smaller beer bottles, but grow bags aren’t as sturdy and the weight of a full wine bottle would probably end up cracking the clay spike

@@poppew or if it wasn’t study enough the bottle would fall over

They do work in fabric grow bags. I use them in 7 and 10 gallon grow bags. Because the soil dries out faster in grow bags you will have to fill the reservoir bottle regularly and may have to use a second spike for some water loving plants. The spike isn't necessarily for wetting the soil as much as the plant attaching roots and forming a mat around it to uptake water as needed.

Whoooops! Maybe more people would’ve clicked on the asses thumbnail 😂

Agreed! That’s why it was so important for us to come up with a plan to speak out effectively

Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter. The concept of culture and its origins can indeed be complex and multifaceted. When discussing the extensive history of Aboriginal culture, it's essential to consider that while linguistic evidence points to a divergence in language families, this doesn't negate the continuity of cultural practices, traditions, and connections to the land that have persisted for tens of thousands of years. The significance of ‘60,000 years’ is the number that is agreed upon and referenced across current scholarship, which refers to the depth of length of time Indigenous people’s have maintained connection and ongoing custodianship that encompasses a rich oral history, spiritual beliefs, artistic expressions, and social structures that transcend linguistic boundaries. Understanding the nuances of culture in different contexts is important, and discussions around what constitutes culture should aim to appreciate the richness, diversity, and complexity of dynamic Aboriginal cultures.

@@HumanitarianChangemakers I don't think anybody is disputing humans have been around a long time on the continent. The claim of 'continuous culture' is the leap of faith but is being thrust forward aggressively. The tribes in tropical Queensland lived vastly different lives to the tribes in the western desert, and would have no connection with each other for thousands of years. There is genetic continuation due to the isolation however to extrapolate that to culture is dubious. The vacuum of evidence due to no written history is being filled with what is currently expedient. It is the scientific honest thing to say "We don't know" instead of drawing a long bow. From my view the great diversity in language and art from different tribes that is being standardised and collectivised for commercial and political reasons. Look at the great diversity of rock paintings across the continent which has now been reduced to dot paintings which was developed in the 1970's with the help of a British art teacher near Alice Springs. Now everywhere the dot painting method is used, wiping out the artist diversity of before. All that swept aside so that a "brand" can be formed.

It’s an acknowledgement of country, not a welcome to country. Learn the difference

@@TiyanaJ Acknowledgement or Welcome to Country are equally stupid and meaningless unless you think Aborigines are a separate entity. They are not. They like everyone else are citizens of Australia which was made perfectly clear when the voice scam was rejected by those who understood the full ramifications of that insidious proposal.

Hello ​​⁠@@davidparris7167 , Thank you for sharing your perspective. While everyone is indeed a citizen of Australia, acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land is not about considering Aboriginal people as a separate entity but recognising their deep connection and respect for the land, history, and culture that existed long before Australia became a nation. It's a way of showing respect and honoring the heritage of those who have been the custodians of this land for thousands of years.

@@TiyanaJ At your house for Christmas do you acknowledge your parents and thank them for the party and food when it was you who bought and made it and invited them over? It's a passing grift and political lie meant to garner power.

Hello there, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate diverse perspectives, and as discussed in this episode we ought to embrace differing opinions as we move forward. Regarding your query of credibility, Tiyana J is a PhD researcher with over a decade experience in the human rights and humanitarian/development sectors. She has worked with public, private, and civil society actors across policy, campaigning, and research. There is no "Welcome to Country" in this episode however there is an acknowledgement of country. This is not only a gesture of respect for Australia’s Indigenous culture and heritage, but also outlines our commitment to reconciliation as an organisation. To skip see 0:31

It wasn't an amendment - it was a PREAMBLE - which at LAW has no bearing on the document to which it is attached. In fact, the "voice" offered nothing to anyone.

We did ! And we are just starting to realise the size of the bullet headed our way & the power of the people. Thanks for your encouragement !

@@frogmatt33 Mate, you could not be more wrong. The referendum specifically referred to amending the Constitution to allow for the creation of a representative panel called the Voice within the Constitution. That was the whole point! If the referendum had been about some form of recognition contained within the Preamble then it would have had a much higher chance of passing. As it happens the referendum was about a whole lot more than that. And that's why it failed. Your statement that the "Voice" offered nothing to anyone is just plain foolish. If you're going to quibble over details you might as well get the details right don't ya think?

The FACT is that with the Australia Act 1986 AU they severed the link between the UK and Aus, cutting us off from the privy council, and removing the ability to change the "constitution", as it can only be changed in the UK Parliament, because it is their Act. This isn't a "quibble", it is FACT at LAW. The whole thing was an attempt to side step Original Sovereignty - Hardly a "Quibble". Any more "detail" you would like to add? @@jeffappleton926

KPMG and the other big auditors have overseen the rorting and pillaging of remote communities since the Land Rights Act NT came into force. Mostly white fellas have benefitted, and the black fella's are set up and groomed into corruption. People freaked out about control of the land by the 3% of abOriginal people and Tribes, while in truth it is the billionaire mining magnates - making up 0,000000003% that are really in control. That wealth is being laundered, and no one in this country will be left with anything. The Parliament is entirely captured by corporate interested. Time to get real and tell it like it is.
