Self-Blanching Celery

[growmore]

When your celery  plant is established . Carefully dig a  hole starting about 8inch away from you plant sloping towards roots  ..Insert a 2inch or 3inch pipe into this about 8 to 10 inch into soil just away from roots,, Backfill soil around pipe ..water  steadily down pipe till pipe overflows. Leave a minute, then fill pipe  to top again with water ..You can use a weak liquid feed down pipe too .. Leave about 10inch to a foot of pipe sticking above ground level .. Hopefully This should  help make sure your plant has got plenty of water where its needed and never dries out ... cheers.. Jim

That pipe thing is great - because you fill it up & know exactly how much the plant is getting.

And nothing runs off.

The pipe sounds a great idea.
