Next, introduce the tube into the pot, and place lots of stones so that it is well attached.

Then, put the tarp down between the mesh and the tube. Put some zip ties on the top of the tarp to attach it to the mesh.

At last, you can plant your plants. Put them in the order you like best. Make cuts in the shape of a »T» wherever you want to put one, and make another one in the drain tube right at the points where you planted it. Thus, the water will be able to pass from the tube to the flower.

Looks good, right? But you still have one thing left: water. For it you just have to pour water into the tube.
