Two plants. In tubs. Ring culture. In a Gro Bag

How much water per day?

I want to trickle feed them whilst we are away in June/July and want to
experiment with drip feed supply from an adjacent water butt now before
we put the plants in. A neighbour sorts the mail, windows, curtains and
lights etc and one of the daughters will come and stay at some time, and
pick the Tomatoes but we don't want to lumber them with watering the
Toms.

Any ideas?

Have a rainwater collecting butt and put a timer on the outlet.
