Question 1

How long will a gallon of water approx last with one cord?

Accepted Answer

Impossible to answer ... sorry. There are so many variables involved in how much water plants need. The size of the plant, the type of plant, the atmospheric conditions (greenhouse?) for example. I used mine to keep greenhouse plants watered while I was on holiday. I had two strands (you could have more) coming down through the holes in the bottom of the plantpot. The pots rested on a couple of lengths of wood over a gravel tray and I filled the gravel tray with water. The wick led down into the gravel tray and into the water. It worked very well. You could use a lager container but be aware that capillary action which draws the water up is limited in height. (Sorry I don't know what the limit might be.)

Question 2

How long it takes to star working? Because I've put the cord into the water 30 minutes ago, and the other end of the cord is still dry.

Accepted Answer

Pretty quick but I had the water container above plant level. Try to kick start it by immersing whole tape first. I had 8 plants on them whilst away for over 2 weeks and all fine

Question 3

is the length of cord in the water important?

Accepted Answer

I don’t believe so - what’s most important is that the end of the wick that is in the water is higher than the end of the wick what you are watering.

Question 4

What packaging does the 36m come in? Is it a barrel type roll? Will it untangle easily?

Accepted Answer

It comes as it is shown in tge pic. It can be untangled easily. Helped me a lot when i went for a week holiday. Also, you can take an empty toilet roll or kitchen roll to keep the rest safely untangled.
I used two small one cut and left it in clean and empty milk bottle 2L for a 7 days and it worked fine. As it is winter so they wont need that much water depend o  what you want it for.
