what is the point of having a lid at the bottom of the pot? if we have to drain that water? also I have been watering my basil everyday and now is all dry, perhaps because possums have eaten its leaves or just for excess of water

I think you just have to feel the soil to see if it needs water.

how OFTEN should the plant be watered????????

love the video but it would have been helpful if you mentioned how often we should water

Thanks for sharing this video. I have never been able to keep a basil plant alive, but I've never tried watering it this way so I'm going to give it a shot.
