A watering solution maybe.

Ok folks.
I am planning to grow soon outdoors.A couple of plants.In the forest.Not a water source near.But i can take 1.5 litre bottle with me when i go jogging there.I live in mediteranean are so it gets pretty hot and dry.
So i am hoping i can get away with this 1.5 litre
I have been reading threads about the problem of watering when it comes to outdoors.
So i had this idea and i want your opinions.
This is for ppl who hike, jogg etc
What if...
Presoak polymers to get them expanded ,
Get a biiiig bucket/pot and place a thick layer of the expanded crystals on bottom.
Mix some crystals with soil and top the bucket/pot with that mix
Dig a hole in the ground and place in there the bucket/pot.
Now there is that issue.Do you make holes on the bottom of your bucket/pot ?
If you dont.Then i assume less waterings. I remind you i am talking about summer in the mediteranean.Rly hot and dry.Really intense sun.
So the whole point is to be able to sustain life with small amounts of water 3 times per week lets say.Or even everyday.But a litre ,litre and a half.Sth u could carry with you without looking weird
Any opinions are apreciated

I would use polymers in the ground. No need for a lot. The pot would dry much quicker I'd think then the actual sorry. Plus if the pant is needing water it'll stretch it's roots in search of it. Just dog a big hole and use the polymers as directed. If you use too much it'll swell the hole and your plant can topple

use drainpipe to allot water deeper, make proper mulch layer or use some kind of waterproof nylon around the stem to prevent evaporation( make some holes on it ofc.)
you can put something in the bottom of the hole if the soil has high drainage, you need to check the soil before adding anything to it.. each soiltype has unique needings to adjust it..
