Hashyanswered grow question 2 years ago I do an auto drip system for when I'm away from the plants for a while. Very simple system. Timer, Bucket, water pump 1/2 inch flexible pipe, 1/4 inch flexible pipe. Manifold for 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch then pipe to drippers.
Set timer to water when it's needed. I know with mine I can set it to run 2 1/2 hrs every other day and that's sufficient.
