I think someone would do well marketing this in UK.

Surprised Hozelock haven't done this already to link into their irrigation systems with drippers rather than using a timer control unit on the outside tap.
It does look interesting, but I'm not sure how practical it would be unless your plants were located in a small area with a water feed.
That sounds like an interesting solution John.
I've often wondered if there is something that would work for self watering individual plants based on a counterweight system, something akin to kitchen balance scales in reverse: I was thinking on the lines of holding a pot by it's rim over a water reservoir and then as the pot gets lighter it is automatically moved down into the water until it is heavy enough to move back out.
