We have some 16" baskets each containing 21 Bacopa Gulliver in JI
number 3. This year I would like to try auto watering them. I have a
handy water supply which can easily be automated to make life easier.
Grateful for any recommendations as to the most effective type of
nozzle to use - spray, mist, drip or into watering spikes.

Using a timer controlled system, 2-3 drippers in a basket would be fine
I guess. However, I never found a way to get enough water in them
without having lots just drain out all the time (which is not a big
deal) - or alternatively, not enough and then getting dry in hot weather

I like the Tropf Blumat watering system. It has a ceramic cone shape
that pushes into the soil, this sense the dampness of the soil and lets
through water when necessary. it is relatively expensive per container,
but doesn't require a timer.
