Self Watering Pots?

I recently bought a self watering pot from Wal-Mart that I used to plant various herbs in. Cilantro, Oregano etc. The water goes into the botom tray and the roots reach down and are suppossed to get the water they need. What I have planted so far has given me great results.

Would something like this be good or bad for other types of herb as well? Will my other plants get too much, or not enough water with this type of set up?

Thanks

i think it would be fine... it is a weed so it is similar in many ways... give it a try, whats the worst that could happen?

using a soil mix it would be the best as long as you know what your doing never over water because it says self watering!!!!!!!!!!

I was under the impression that you could keep the bottom filled and it would get the water it needs when it needs it. I guess the roots can go down into the water. How would this differ from a hydro system in a way where the roots are submerged in water all of the time.

On the herbs that I am growing, I just keep the base filled and they are doing great. As far as whats to loos with the other. Being a first time grower, I could ruin what I have worked on up to this point.

Has anyone used anything like this in their setup? Were you satisfied with the results?

well my good friend
i was using tray with 4inch pots
and i was just feeding my plants from the bottom like u saw
that is a reall good method i think
since u let ur up root get air all the time
and they water from below
that the ideal
but anyway
now i have too big pots and i cant do that anymore
putting water on the top soil
only option

This is the same principle as the hempy bucket. They work really well, i wouldnt use soil though it hold to much water. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/59705-hempy-collective.html
