optional vacation watering system

Yeah I thought about this too. Thinking about also the option of packaging the way they come when shipped. Water really and then wrap with plastic wrap. Ever done it this way?
Don't really need to do that. I'd just wrap them in a we towel--allow a bit of air circulation. Plastic promotes mold, etc. in a sealed environment. Cloth can too, but it's not airtight.

Nice. I'll see about getting this prepped for when my trip comes. I'll post a follow up on this as it comes soon!
 
@rockm - update on what I did on vacation. Bought these two from amazon and worked great. FYI for anyone else looking for something.

I actually got two timers for different water times and it all worked out great. Just had these working for a week prior to leaving to make sure I got them dialed in on timing and sprinkler angles/quantity per plant.

I'm going away for two weeks in August. I will be teaching my nephew how to water. He's very happy to get a few extra bucks watering my trees and feeding my son's animals. He may kill everything, but that's another story.

Get him started early!
 
I have a lot of trees on a balcony and have no hose hookup so I use the Gardena Aquabloom system but I use a much bigger reservoir. So far it’s been very helpful although most of my trees are pre-bonsai and potted in nursery mix so they’re a bit more forgiving with watering schedules.
