It can be done. That’s what I do when I go away on vacation. I have a drip system set up to water my 15 or so container plants on the lanai.

Get an “Improved Meyers Lemon” if you do decide to get one.

I’d recommend setting up the system 2-3 weeks before your leave. This way you can work out any bugs and get the watering amounts right. Note that the main line also has a tendency to move when water first starts filling the tubing. This might dislodge the feeder head. So secure your lines.

All the parts can be bought on line or at any big box retailer.

Good luck !
