Homemade irrigation system idea???

Ok, besides doing a small cornfield grow this spring, I found a beautiful spot where no human is gonna try to go. It's just an overgrown area with weeds and vines and you can't see in from the sides. If I can put two clones in the middle in the spring..it'll be great for sure. The only thing is, it's gonna be a pain in the ass for me to get back there as well. So, I was thinking....If I got a bucket, found the smalllest drill bit I can get my hands on, and drill a hole on the bottom, fill the bucket with water, and then place it near the stem, I am thinking that the water would slowly seep for about 7 to 10 days. I could also mix a small amount of fertilizer in the bucket too. Just go back about every 10 days or so...What'ya guys think...Good idea or bad?

I would test it first at home by getting a bucket, poking a small hole, and seeing if it actually drips consistently and for how many days. That way u wont set it up in the middle of the forest come back a week later to find the plants dead because it only went for 3 days when you expected it to go for 7.

maybe drill the hole and fill with polyfille or something to allow it too leech out slowly????

I'm going to be trying something similar this year that might just work for you as well. I'll be growing 5-6 plants along a woodline that is bordered by a very thick overgrown area. In order to keep travel to the plants light I will be burying a garden hose that connects all of the holes, but where it crosses the hole I am splicing in a 18" section of "soaker" hose with those little splice kits that you get in the garden section of the box stores. There is a brushpile about 30-40' away from the plants, so I plan on placing a black 5 gallon bucket with a screen over the top of it above grade in the brush pile, camo'ing it up, and tapping the hose out of the bottom of the bucket and let gravity do the feeding. I guess that you could dump nutes or whatever else in with it if you wanted too. Make sure that you put a screen over the top of the bucket if you try this. I did something similar last year and A) debris will get in the bucket and clog the tap in the bottom, and B) animals like to bath and drink from buckets. I had to "fish" a dead bird out of my bucket last year because it got in, got wet, and couldn't fly out (I assume). Needless to say it clogged the bucket up good with feathers and crap too.

look in to something like this : http://www.7gadgets.com/2009/03/21/automatic-plant-watering-system/10616 put that in inside a rubber maid bin or 5 gal jug...i whould still check it out to test it and see how it does.
