Better than expected, it’s nice and fluffy, absorbs water really well

I didn't order it early enough to play about with and to get the right amount of water through. When we came back after 3 weeks holiday, dirty water had overflowed onto the work surface and made a mess.In hindsight, I should have ordered a lot earlier and followed the instructions to get a steady flow through. I've given 4 stars because I believe it was my error and not the products fault. I would say - order in good time and read the instructions.

Works perfectly. Saved my plants whilst away 2 weeks.NOTE. Set it all up several days in advance so you can judge how much water they will use. I had to use large containers for two weeks away.

Good quality cord and clear instructions on different methods of use.Packed well, arrived really quickly. Very happy

Was hoping this would keep my plants watered while away. Took a while getting the correct speed of drip of water but with time I did . Make sure the water end is weighted down .The item worked well for a while then didn't deliver the amount of water needed. Not sure if I would recommend for long term but for a few days watering yes.

Tried this out indoors before using it in the garden to see how long a 4pt milk container would last on my allotment. It started well. While both containers were level I got a steady 11 second drip. When I moved the full container 4 inches higher, I got a steady 6 second drip. Great I thought and left it to drip. Then it stopped. Now it's not dripping at all. I've taken the cord out. Put it back in. Nothing. So it's not reliable in my tests. Shame as I was really hoping it would be the answer to my cracking tomatoes when I can't get to the the the allotment in hot weather.

I bought it for the sole purpose of keeping my 30+ indoor plants watered while away for a few weeks. Unfortunately, I just wouldn't trust this method to keep my plants happily watered. I watched many you tube videos and tested it over a few days to see how it would work. I tried various ways of reducing the flow of water but each day, the water pots for the wicking were empty, my plants saturated and their stand pots were over flowing in water so the plants were sitting in a pot of water. If no one is to watch over them, they'd just be sitting in this water until they drowned. I've resorted to persuading my son to postpone moving out and to remain at home until I return just so my plants don't perish.

This is just great. So easy to use! I thought I had to buy some expensive automatic watering system but this was just as good.It comes with instructions which explains you how to position it and how to make the flow faster or slower and all I did was put a big pot with water in the center of the room and moved all my plants around it, then you put the rope into the water and on the plants soil and that's it! Even my expensive plants were just fine after our long holiday. Definitely will use again.
