I like the sound of that. I’ve also been considering trying to do some sort of gravity fed drip system from a water butt to take care of our seedlings and maybe a bed but no idea where to start.
So is it a solar powered pump/timer? Presume it runs from a butt not mains water?

I want to try and set up something for our Raspberry canes; the ones that fruit on last year's growth always do fine, but the others [edit: that fruit on new growth] always seem to dry out in the summer and not fruit. Would be interested in seeing any solutions people find

This is how raspberries work. They are either primocane or floricane, which describes how they fruit. If they fruit on last years growth, I think, it’s prune (in winter) the canes which fruited the season just gone as they won’t fruit again.
