We’ve already shown you several ways to keep your plants watered and hydrated while you’re away, but using a garbage bag is the quickest and easiest method we’ve seen, and it turns the covered area into a mini, self-sustaining greenhouse.

You’ll want to use clear garbage bags so that sunlight can still filter through, and it’s a good idea to stick a wooden dowel rod in the planter so that the garbage bag doesn’t touch the plant. For smaller plants, you can use plastic bags from the supermarket or one large garbage bag for multiple, smaller plants.
