Solar-powered water butt irrigator!

This just spotted in today's Guardian. Looks really good - I could use one of these...
Now if only it comes with a reasonable price tag...

Is that all......?????   ::)        I'll have half a dozen please......    ;)

I heard a whisper that someone on my site has managed to rig something up along these lines, but I doubt he did it at such a price! If I hear anything I'll let you know.
