Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I found these (see pic) to be extremely effective. Just keep the water source at a level higher than the top of the soil, not below like in the picture. Get absolutely loads of them. and use a very large water container (or more than one - for houseplants I used one 5lts bottle per pot) for them to feed from. You can also work into the soil lots of water retaining gel (tip: nappies have lots of it in the stuffing, just use clean ones) into the soil itself and water it thoroughly for a few days before you leave, to make sure it has expanded fully. Also, if you can, shading the greenhouse would reduce evaporation, to a certain extent.
