Default watering high plants

In past years I've always had a large box of plants above the front porch
that I water using a 3m pipe connected to a hose. As we have a hose pipe
ban this year that won't be possible. Any suggestions on a legal way to
water the flower box, don't really fancy getting a ladder out twice a day,
and the location's not accessible from a window.


Don't plant it this year, I'm not doing my normal 5 hanging baskets, can't
expect people to hold watering cans up in the air when we go away on
holiday. Will make a change.


I've a few hanging baskets too, I'd like to have them all out as usual
as it brightens the street up a lot. The submersible butt pump with
irrigation drip looks like a good bet.
