Automatic watering systems
Does anyone have any advice or experience they can offer please, on purchasing and installing an automatic watering system (for young trees and a climbing plant)?

I bought all the kit at Longos recently. A Karcher unit that just screws onto the bottom an outside tap. It takes a 9 volt battery and you the have a range of times/duration to select. Dead easy. Then the light weight pipe is coupled to the bottom and laid where you want it. I little tool to poke a small hole in the pipe at the appropriate points and little adjustable drip feeders to stick in holes. I fitted 2 setups. One that’s doing a 106 oleander bushes and one that’s doing 4 fruit trees. Seems to be working well after some fine tuning of the drip feeders to get them all the same.
