Building an Automatic Watering System for Hanging Baskets

We are going on vacation soon and I want to set up an automatic watering system for my two hanging baskets. To date my watering efforts constist of turning the hose on them once a day. It is such a hassel getting someone to come by every day to water while we're gone. Here's what the plumbing guy at Home Depot had to say.

From Orbit:

1 WaterMaster automatic tap timerĀ  - $55

1 Hose faucet to tubing adapter - $2.50

1 1/4" tubing tee - $3.00

1 adjustable flow mist sprayer - $4.50

1/4" tubing straps - $3.00

100 feet 1/4" distribution tubing - $12.50

About $80 all together. Will show some pictures once installed. It looks very straight forward to assemble.
