Let's see if I can find that link...I JUST saw this the other day...

The website is in Chinese, but you can look at the product and see if your local stores have it...---> Click here <---

It's around $60.00US/48.00 EURO here...do not know how much it cost there. However, you do not need anything else.

I do not know if this would fit your specific needs...just throwing it out here. :)

I know you asked for a cheap way to make a drip system...

It's just that every time I try to make something...it ends up in the garbage. I have a green thumb, I just hit it a lot with a hammer! :p

I am going to try the system I linked you above when I go with hydroton medium (just cant break away from my living soil).

Something else I've heard tried, take a jug and a rope, fiber not nylon, thats thick enough to plug the hole for the most part. cut open the bottom, hang upside down, and when you stick the rope in, tie a knot to keep it there, then seal with epoxy. The rope is supposed to wick the water to where you need it...I've never tried it, but the guy that told me about it said thats how they used to water they're guerrilla grows...

Buy a cheep ass aquarium submersible water pump, buy some tubing and a few splitters from a store like http://www.dripirrigation.com/. you dont even have to use any drip fittings. Put that sucker on a digtal timer(a little experimentation needed to find out how long u will need it on) and u can set it up to water your plants any way u want. Every other day-every third day, etc. It would prob cost you 50 bucks to make. 20$pump, 20$digital timer, 10dollars for driptube and fittings. They also make drip emmiters which restrict the amount of water that can be expelled from the tube so that you can water more slowly-or you could use a sprayer/misteron a stake to water a bigger footprint in ur bucket.

You could use a dc waterpump with the setup i described before and hook it up to a battery. First thing that comes to my mind is a bilge pump for a boat. you can get them at walmart for pretty cheap.
