I have found a product online and wondered if anyone had used it before and if it worked. It's called Holiday Mat and Rainmat supplied by http://www.plant-watering.com/
They claim it holds 8 pints of water. You lay it on a draining board, add water to it and place your plants on top.

If you have any thoughts on this or better products, i would be very grateful

Cheers

Mark,

I too have had the problem of having my plants die on me while I am away.

The rainmat seems like a good option but I would check others out. There are so many to choose from. My personal favourite is AQUADRIP. You get 6 bottle top watering spikes in a pack and it supports Oxfam. www.ecocharlie.co.uk is where you will find it.

hope that helps.
