Holiday Watering... How Much?

[Maf]

I have an assortment of squashes and courgettes in 9inch pots all doing well in my greenhouse

Problem is I'm going on my holls on Saturday and the last time I tried to use my Hozelock dripper system, I came home to boggy pots and dead plants

I really had hoped to do some experimenting with watering durations but never found the time

I know there are lots of variables but can anyone offer a suggestion of how long and how often I should switch on a 4lph dripper??

tnx

How long are you going for?

Neighbours? Family? Friends?

Trays, paddling pool, bath?

There are a few Grapes who are watering system experts - isn't Pigletwillie one of them?

Is the water going into trays or onto the top of the plants and they can drip?

I'd try it for half an hour [if dripping] and 15 mins [if into trays] today and tomorrow and see how much gets soaked up an hour later.....and adjust things depending on how they are with that.

You've not left yourself time to sort it have you! Norty boy.
