Do you have a water butt ?
if so you could use something like this

Thats what I use, it keeps my toms alive for a fortnight

Ropster that is excellent value  :D

I've only ever used those gadgets that go on the end of pre-used plastic drinks bottles to dispense water slowly.

This looks fab though  :D :D :D
