And yet here you are, last summer, watching tomatoes brown out by Tuesday because life happened and the can stayed empty. Drip irrigation is the single best Saturday-afternoon project a balcony gardener can take on. It turns a worry — did anyone water the plants? — into a checked box. A small drip kit, a $14 timer, and a faucet adapter will keep a dozen containers happy for the entire season, including a two-week vacation in August.
