Garden Watering
Our simple, easy and efficient D.I.Y solution. You may be saying "I'd like automatic watering for when we are away so as not to have to rely on the neighbours BUT "It's too complicated." "I wouldn't know where to start". " What would I want?" "Could I fit the system?"
Any gardener can fit a system. We have made it so easy. You don't even need a screwdriver and definately no plumbing knowledge.
Having read Putting In A System (below) if your'e still not confident to plan a complete system, start with a Kit. Decide which is the most important, for Beds and Borders you need a Micro Sprinkler Kit. Baskets, Tubs and Pots an Adjustable Dripper Kit.
Once you have put this together you can add Drippers or Sprinklers to it from our 'Watering Bits and Pieces' web page. An average garden tap will supply about 30 Drippers or Sprinklers. After that divide the system with a Manifold.
Putting In A System
Starting from the tap, screw on the tap connector. This will take the 12mm Main Tube supplied in 25mtr (82') coils and forms the backbone of the system. The tube is easily cut, bends round a 30cm (12") radius. If tighter use a 12mm Elbow. To go in two directions use a 12mm Tee. A 12mm Joiner connects another length of tube. An Inline Tap turns off part of the system. At the end of a run finish with a 12mm End Plug. These fittings just push into the special 12mm Main Tube which naturally grips the joint. Use 12mm Nail Clips to fix to fence or wall.
To make an outlet for a Dripper or Sprinkler pierce a hole in the Main Tube with the Tool and push a Hose Barb in. The tubing closes round the Barb forming a water tight seal. A hole in the wrong place is sealed using a Goof Plug.
A piece of 5mm PVC Hose is cut off the 10mtrs (33") roll and pushed onto the Hose Barb, then onto the Micro Sprinkler or Dripper. 5mm PVC if run up or down a wall or fence is fixed with 5mm Nail Clips. It could not be simpler.
