They are easy to install and set up, and once in, they will water automatically with minimal supervision – ideal for small to medium gardens or allotments – and can be used for pots, raised beds, hanging baskets, vegetables and greenhouses.
Unlike conventional timer systems, by watering little and often, the soil stays moist and water does not run off, saving you water. This system can use up to 1800 litres per week..
No mains, wires, or hosepipes needed nor heavy watering cans to lug water around the garden.
