Hi,
I have a holiday home in Don Pueblo fase III, not far from Dunbars. I'm looking for someone to help/hire to water my plants throughout the year when I'm not there. I just have a few pots so no heavy gardening involved & not much watering.
Many thanks
Tracey

Hi Tracey, I was going to post a similar topic. I will be away from my property for a few days at a time and will have a similar problem.
I'm willing to bet there is a product you can install in the pot which will dripfeed enough water to keep a plant alive until you return. Question being if so where to find it.

Just re read your post and realise it's longer periods for you so guess you will need to find someone you can trust to come and do it for you.

Sorry I don't. You probably need to find a Brit that lives there all year round. Only other thing I can think of is if you live on a community with a pool you could ask the gardener/pool guy?

Im on Don Pueblo fase III, good idea, thanks didn't think of that. If I find anyone I'll let you know re watering plants.
