Well you could always grow indoor plants or a windowbox perhaps?

Thanks Dave I am trying, Tom found out how to use to hose and gun today.
Thats not good
I may put rocks on top of the soil around the plants because everytime I water them it sprays the soil all over the floor

That would be a good idea. There are a couple of cats around too so it might discourage them from leaving you little " presents " in the soil. It will help keep the soil moist for longer periods too saving you watering so often. |

It sounds as though you're either impatient and trying to force the water into the pots or you don't have enough mulch in the soil.
Softly, softly, catchee monkey

I have tried softly softly but when I see other Spanish watering there plants they do it from metres and metres away and they never get any dirt or soil on the floor.
I think some of my pots are to full of soil, may need to empty some out

| They look fine Karl - just take an inch or so from the top and add a layer of small stones. They are cheaper than those clay things I bought and they look a bot more natural. |

Cheers I know what you mean, I looked into the clay balls and they were almost 5 euros a bag to cover one pot !!!!!
Will stick with stones.
