What is the best solution for watering plants in a greenhouse when one has to be away for several days? My GH is new (first complete year). During the summer when I left, I put everything outside under shade trees with a sprinkler on a timer and that worked fine. But cold weather is coming and the plants will definitely freeze in Dec., Jan, Feb, etc. if put outside. I don't think a sprinkler on a timer is a good idea in the GH as it flings water about so - electrical hookups and hard water stains on the walls. So I have been looking at the Oasis System by Claber. But it is pricy and I have never actually seen one. Can anyone advise me on a system that has actually been used by someone? I have a problem that water has to come in via a hose as the GH is not plumbed. So a system that works off a reservoir would be best (it would be difficult to run a hose across the ground and not have it also freeze if left out all the time in the winter). Does this mean I can never have a vacation again - am I slave to my beloved GH and plants?
