Thankyou *very* much for finding this - just what I need! I have a
sloping allotment with the usual gaggle of waterbutts and it's of
course a pain to water everything when it's dry. With this, I can just
fill up the butts and let it water the plot for me :-)
This is most useful because I have several large apples taking water
constantly from the soil and it would be great for the surface plants
to not have to fight!
