It will water up to 20 pots for 40 days ($86). It Has 4 different irrigation programs and doesn’t even need electricity to work.

Portable, and renewable energy will be essential to any survival situation. Electricity could be hard to find. Batteries that can be recharged using solar energy will be extremely valuable during a catastrophe or natural disaster.
