ABSTRACT:
The method of making a nylon twine wick to which the twine wick is baked to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined length of time so that the strands of the wick will remain in their established position during insertion of the wick within the soil of a potted plant and usage of the wick. Insertion of the wick is accomplished by a thin rod tool which has a sharpened point at one end and an indentation formed in the sidewall of the tool directly adjacent the sharpened point. The wick is to be temporarily secured to the tool by being wrapped around the tool at the indentation with the tool to be inserted into the soil of the potted plant with the sharpened point leading, and when inserted to the desired amount, the tool is twisted causing release from the wick and then the tool is withdrawn leaving the wick in place.
