Hello everyone – I’m new to this forum. This is my first post.
I’ve decided to treat myself to an automatic watering system for my
containers.
In the garden I’m making I’m going to have about 50 pots – all medium to
large,
in two different places. There’s an external tap, so I imagine I
will connect a
computerised irrigation thing to it, and then somehow
split a pipe.
Any advice, warnings or suggestions? Which is the best brand? Which is
the one
to avoid?
Thanks!
