I am looking to install an automatic irrigation system and would like to know if anyone here is using this. Have you installed it yourselves or did you get a company to do it? I am trying to avoid mistakes and would be grateful for any hints and tips around this topic. Looking forward to your replies :) Thanks!!

    Hi Andrea! The most important what do you want from the systemI.e : watering pots,hanging basket ,boarders. The outline a basic plan ,your biggest challenge is installing a supply water pipe as your main feed.You will need: supply pipe (13mm) with pressure reducing connector,micro pipe(5mm) to connect to the supply pipe and then your drip connectors and any other watering sprinkler or soakers. All these information and planning details are online from EASYWATERING (Hazlelock) for down loading ,you will find it at the bottom of their home page, and yes you can do it and you will enjoy doing it yourself if you haven't got bad back, it is as expensive as you let it, I shop around during the winter months for products from Amazon or EASYWATERING oh! you will also need a auto-timer ,good luck you will enjoy , my system have been running for five years, now I just chill out with the time saved and I don't have to worry when I am away from home the system care for the plants .
    Hope this is not too much info.

    I'm busy trying to find someone to install an automatic irrigation system - don't suppose any of you can recommend someone in central London? (I promise not to blame you if I take the recommendation & it goes pear shaped!)
    thanks
