Connecting Crouch End and Hornsey with news, views and information
Has anyone got a solution to the pot watering problem. Just go away for a few days and your pots dry out and the plants wilt. I don't feel entitled to impose on friends and neighbours, adding another chore to their busy lives, so i need an automatic process.
I've bought some of those orange cone things with holes in (they look a bit like carrots) you screw a pop bottle on them and stick them in the pot, and the water is supposed to trickle out gradually, but they are quite erratic. Either they empty immediately or never.

They are called 'Watering Spikes' and made by 'Neat Ideas'. I bought mine from a store call Range in the Midlands, but I saw them in the Garden Centre (Sunshine . Durnsford) last week. I haven't checked the pet shop on Park Road.
I'm not sure I'm recommending them, but I do now have 6 bottles connected.
