Can anyone recommend an effective system. I have the aldi one and the
timer works well but the hose and drip items dont work at all well. I
am going on hols soon an would like my raised bed watered . Thanks.

If the timer is ok, I would be inclined to connect it up to some soaker
hose (aka porous/seep hose) which is how I water all my raised veg beds
(using a 4-way adapter to split the supply to 4 different soaker hoses.

If that doesn't grab you, have you looked at the Aquapod system?

Very quick and easy to set up and a two-pod pack might be sufficient,
depending on the size of your bed.

Or if you like to build a micro system from scratch, the Hozelock
components work as well as any for me:
