Home Depot 27 gallon tote slow drip

[socalsinner777]

Hi everyone . Looking for some advice. I'm trying to setup a slow drip feeder for my outdoor plant. Not sure if it's going to work but what the hell lol .. how much water per hour do you think will come out per 1/4 line with just gravity pushing the water? I'll probably have 25 gallons in the bin on a stand at height above the plant base. I'm in Southern California and it will be getting hot here soon. Thanks in advance.

Might want to look into a sip.
Sub irrigated planter.
tote that big 6 foot of 4 inch drain tile 1 inch tube with a 2 liter bottle top glued on with threads pointing up. clay pellets in the bottom and slant the whole thing with a low point where the bottle attaches and a hugh point drain on the other side. The 2 liter when screwed on is under water but as the plant drinks the level drops and the 2 liter glugs water into the tote until the tip of the pipe is under water again.
100's of vids on youtube on making a sip.
