Here's what I do: Pay one of the neighborhood kids to come by the house and water our plants every other day.

However, if that isn't an option, you can buy relatively inexpensive drip irrigation systems at big box stores like Home Depot or Lowes. You could set one of those up with a timer for about $50-60, if you have access to a water spigot.

I paid 2 neighbor kids to water all my potted plants (had about 300 containers at the time!!!) while we were gone a couple of weeks during a summer. They didn't care for my plants like I did, cuz about 100 of them were dead when I got home.

Get a drip system and a timer.

Cheers

I would do the drip system/timer as well. I hired a neighbor girl who takes care of her family's containers to water while I was on vacation.

She is a very responsible person.

The day I left there was a death in her family that required them to all go out of town.

In my case most plants survived, but some were damaged to a point they never fully recovered from.
