Auto water recommendation

[greenthumb2]

Quick question for you guys. I'm curious if anyone can reccomend a gravity fed watering device to 1-5 remote plants happy. I'm looking for something that can be adapted to any reservoir size (will likely use a 5 gallon bucket) and just plain works. I've seen all the water stick devices but I'm just not sure which works and doesn't. Thanks

Get a digital water timer, they sell on ebay for around 15-25€($).

I suppose I could hook something like this up to a 5 gallon bucket hanging up.

Original BLUMATS!!!

They're designed for passive applications as you are seeking to set up.

I agree with MJ. The Blumats are great.

Looks good however I'd get a digital version with option to set different programs(once pre day, every three days, custom...). Price is very similar.
Something like this, I was very happy with it.

Those blumats are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks guys.

RE Blumat gravity-feed setups: How do you keep insects and debris out of the reservoir tank? Maybe a fine netting stretched over the top... like ladies pantyhose? Is there any worry about accumulation of dust in the system clogging the sensors or lines? What about algae problems?

 

[Nemato]

The distribution drippers can get clogged but the soaker hose option does not. The sensor will not clog.

Sustainable Village has several helpful videos outlining how to set up and maintain the blumats.

Thanks, I'll search through their videos.
