Irrigation systems

[Scruff]

I have one of these. Installed 3 years ago and it works like a dream. Just have to unscrew the "computer" at first frost and then replace it end April.

Just a warning - if your garden is visited by foxes even if they behave otherwise they will chew the rubber pipes so by year 2 it will be shredded.

So is a dildo, so I hear

Depends what kind of a soaking you're after i suppose

I have a timer system, which goes off for an hour a day early evening, through a collection of hoses, to sprinklers.

Seems to work a treat.

That's a hozelock set up.

At least, according to the URL it's linked to

I've got one of those hoselock thingies - very good, but i'd imagine there are some generic systems out there. Actually i'm not sure about the timers, but the bits of pipe and connectors have probably been ripped off by now. Very handy when working away in super-hot weather.

that's called a Shadoof, the first machine ever invented by man.

I learned that when I was nine. Innit funny how some things stick in your mind ?

tesco had the pods on clearance for £25 the other day, not sure if that's cheap in real terms.

I've been looking at the Hozelock micro irrigation systems for my vegetable patch and grow bags. Are there any others I should check out?
