Default watering system

:

any tips, tricks or cheats on how to make one?
I'm going away fro a fortnight and I have a 10 X 7 greenhouse to water,
tomatoes and chilli plants, some in bags and some directly in the soil.
I have access to lots of tubing etc and time, but very little in the way
of
spare cash (need it for my hols!)


I thought that I was being clever, I found a spare length of hosepipe and
made holes in it, all I have to do, I thought, was put it in the greenhouse
wind it round the base of the toms. etc you still with me :-) then attach
it to the longer bit that was connected to the tap, turn the tap on and hey
presto, watering done. What dawned on me too late was that the water tap was
lower than the greenhouse and I could not get enough pressure for the water
to flow out of all my neatly made holes,my next good idea is ........ well I
don't know yet its too hot to think :-)
