DIY Reservoir Gauges | Making water level indicators - Semi-Hydro & Self-Watering pot hack!

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Today we are making some DIY reservoir water level gauges, using straws, tubes, polystyrene and glue! Super quick 10 minute reservoir gauge hack from a non-DIYer! Hope the video is useful! It's not quite a lechuza pot, but this way any pot can have a reservoir level indicator, at a much cheaper price. Links to the products I've used here or similar: Plastic Test tubes: https://amzn.to/2WNFiIe (only for smaller pots for a prettier look, smoothie straws are more versatile I think) Plastic inner straws such as: https://amzn.to/3bQ3ezc , any will do Jumbo 10mm outer straw: https://amzn.to/2LM301t Polystyrene leftover from packaging. If you have none then these are similar: https://amzn.to/2LNHA3P , but probably better to try and reuse if you have any lying around :-) Pots: Semi Hydro: Short 12cm white pots: https://amzn.to/2zif6N4 (More pots & self-watering combos further below ) Equipment: Ikea Drill: https://bit.ly/3bRQqbB Glue gun: https://amzn.to/3ea27vQ Glue Sticks: https://amzn.to/2A1s2GU Sharpie marker 12 box: https://amzn.to/3cQMKI9 Scissors With some improvisation and adjustments, these can work for any pot you want to see a water level for!
