We put grass in Easter baskets, right? Why not bring some indoors for a low-maintenance accent, in this self-watering container.
All you’ll need are two different sized jars, some dirt, stone, water and string/twine. While I had the shovel out from digging-up the bulbs, I went ahead and dug a little patch of grass.
In the smaller jar: I cut a long piece of twine, running one end to the inside-bottom of the small jar; with the excess hanging down the outside of the jar. The string/twine will absorb the water from below and run it to the soil in the smaller jar. – To ensure the twine was secure, I screwed-on the smaller jar’s outer rim. Then I packed the small jar with a layer of stone, layer of dirt and then grass on top.

At this point, you’ll want to check that your smaller jar can suspend in the larger jar. If it can’t (like mine), then wrap a layer of string around the top of the smaller jar so that it can rest on the rim of the larger jar. Once the smaller jar suspends, add your water to the large jar, allowing the excess string from the smaller jar to soak in the water. And there you have it! Ready to display with minimal maintenance.
