- Take a plastic bucket and make two to three holes 3-4 inch above from the bottom
- Take a circular disc with a stand of which diameter is same with diameter of the middle of the bucket so that it can be fixed at the middle part of the bucket
- Make 5-6 holes and put wicks into the hole.
- The lower part of the bucket is filled up with water
- Put sufficient growth medium (soil and manure mixture) on the disc fixed in to the bucket
- Plant the sapling in the soil and cover it with a lid
- The wicks will absorb the water and keep the soil wet so that the plant can get sufficient water for its growth and development.
- When the water level comes down in the bucket, the water can be filled up through the pores kept at the side of the bucket
