Be nice to see some tried'n true gimmicks to help us grow..plus I dig gimmicks..maybe it's just me? Post more if you know of any and reviews if you tried any of them..:mrgreen:
Here's a few to start..
One tip is to roll up a long length of paper towel into a tight rope..one end in a container of water and the other around the inside of your pot on the soil..It really does work.

Here's some pretty cool products
Sorta the same as my paper towel method but a lot neater and simpler: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PGOON8/ref=pe_232610_24639070_pe_epc_dt3

Drywater: kinda expensive but there seems to be a lot of packs and it'd be more expensive to lose your ladies. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EO2PXQ/ref=pe_232610_24639070_pe_epc_dt1

Then there's these things most people know about & these seemed to be the best price for similar ones: http://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Globes-Mini-Set-3/dp/B00282IK3M/ref=pd_sim_ac_1

Noticed a thread about whattya do if you have no papers..and my response was...I always dig taking a piece of fruit...say an apple..most any fruit'll work....poke a hole in one side with a sharp stick or pencil and one through the top connecting the other one...then drop your nuggie in and fire'r up..when you're done..eat the apple :) if you have a drop of tin foil you can poke some holes in it to make a screen, thats what I do.

OK..you're up!

The paper towel trick sounds like it would work.
Ive used towels as a wick to move water before...jus never to water my plants

just buy a 5 dollar water pump and a recycle timer
you mean with a hose with the pump into a bucket of water and the other end into the plants? Ain't that hard to control the amt of water coming out? and whattya set the timer on...like 5-10 seconds?

u can control the flow on the water pump... using some flexible vinyl hose or pvc.... or use vinyl hose to pvc square that goes around the stalk and let it flow... i would say for 10-20 sec every max # of hrs it has on the timer..
