Hi All,
I'm off on hols for a fortnight in a couple of weeks and need to keep my toms & cucumbers watered, can anyone reccomend an automatic watering system? I've been looking at the hoselock aquapod 10 but as its £50 would welcome any other suggestions.

Thanks!

Hi freebo.

What about a soaker hose? the only problem is you will have to keen the water running slowly. Plus you could use capillary mats for your pots etc but will need a large water butt to draw the water from.
I hope this is of some help.

All the best.

Mini irrigation kit from Wilkinson, £5.99? (or £6.99). Bargain. got one and use one myself. Word of advice though, make sure you put all your pots low down as the higher you go the less pressure there is and you end up overwatering the lower plants.

Regards

I ended up getting the Auto Aquapod 10 kit when I saw it on special at B&Q, seems to work brilliantly in the greenhouse, I'm going to leave it running even after I get back from hols, hopefully no split toms for me this year
