Hi, I thought you might like this idea for a self-watering greenhouse.
It reduces greenhouse watering to just occasionally in dry spells, with the added benefit that your plants will love it (bottom watering) and grow incredibly well, and there won't be excess moisture in your house to encourage mould. Dave adapted the design of a self-watering polytunnel to work with a greenhouse - and it works!
This was filmed in Wales ...
The inspiration came from a co-operative up the road that has a self-watering polytunnel, and I am hoping to go and film the original polytunnel soon. This system has worked incredibly well for Dave. So he then replicated the same system on the other side of his greenhouse, leaving the dustbin part out. He didn't realise when it got dry without this easy way of monitoring, so is rebuilding it with the dustbin back in.

What platform do you use on permies Lisa? Do you use mobile or desktop view? The aim is to get mobile as the default with as many features as possible, but at present some things you can do more easily in desktop mode.
There are (at least) 2 ways for you to do this. One is to use the buttons on the post creation window - do you see text formatting buttons with one called 'youtube'? If you do, when you are making your post you can just press that, add the youtube link (except for 'shorts' which are a bit more complex) and the video will be embedded in your post.
If not then you may have to make the link yourself using extra (hidden) text. By putting 'youtube' and '/youtube' in square brackets around your video link this will do the same thing as the editing window button. I'll break the code here so you can see:

After reviewing the message and the linked post, I believe that originally you have posted a Youtube link in a way that it would not show the video but then corrected it. It looks like you are all good, you can disregard Gir's message.

Something happened in my brain this spring and now I have more seeds in pots than I have places to put them. The peppers pretty much ALL sprouted, three egg cartons worth. A dozen have been moved to pots.
Today I made a dozen more filled with several varieties of cantaloupes. Some seeds are fairly old, 2020, so I put lots of seeds in each little pot, hoping one or two will sprout. If many do I'll pinch the poorer-looking ones.
Next step is to figure out where to plant all these plants, assuming they grow.
