What I always found useful when in this situation, is scan the Hort Week for specialist Irrigation companies and get them in for some free advice.
They, quite rightly, want to sell you one of their "new amazing systems" but from my experience most, when pushed, tend to offer practical solutions to problems.
I usually say, Well I just do the plants mate, I don't really understand how this stuff all works, and am normally surprised by the free information given.
Good Luck

Thanks for that. I'm rapidly trying to learn the system and am not finding it all that easy. The infrastructure seems to work reasonably well - with the odd blockages caused by high levels of chalk in the water. The main problem is getting the controllers and valves to work, so we're thinking about changing those to a new system which won't become obsolete without warning (needing further investment...). What system are you working with?
I think another issue that we have is that we're closed on Sundays so it's all the more important that we get a system which can cover the plants while we're away.
