....and you could run a tube from the greenhouse gutter into the cut-out
inverted bottom of the bottle to fill the reservoir / bottle up when it
rains - so as to save 'watering the reservoir'!

Naturally the forementioned, emergency float valve would also need to be
fitted, (plumbed up like a lavatory) - in case of drought.

Goodness, I do believe we have just invented the robotic, 'friendly'
neighbour - who will *reliably* take care of things when we ever dare to go
on holiday.... ;-)

Maybe you could take a piccy of it so we can all admire it.


How about a few wicks from the water reservoir into the compost to
save you from watering too?

And a float valve to keep it topped up: available from most good
skips.

An inverted, full, 2 litre plastic bottle (with the neck just below the
surface) gives a fairly large, automatic top up supply....
