Irrigation Systems

hi Kerrie,

I am sure that you would like a system that will work well covering every bit and that will last long time.
that will give you some extra credit point from your customer but also will ensure brilliant results from your plants.

To do that you need to plan the irrigation system to the garden needs and to the customers preference.

Every system is built from many parts coming from many firms in the world, there are always cheaper parts but only with experience you learn what cheap ones you can not afford to have in your system as one day after a year or two they just explodes or leak.

Each system can have a control panel (like a tiny computer, that can be placed indoor or outdoor) a filter to keep the system clean from tiny stones/sand and to last well many years. Electric valves. hand valves,
all sorts of pipes, pop up sprinklers and pop up sprayer for the lawn. Also a drip irrigation is far better than leak hose for plants and trees.
and mini drip system to hanging baskets and pots.

I have learned in the last 3 years that I can offer my experience and now I offer free planning service, supply all the parts (great prices) and if needed can install it.

It might look too late but it is never too late, bare in mind.

Claiber do a cheaper pop up system, its quite good to, they also do a large selection of other irrigation equipment.

If you wanted we install claiber systems, from there seephoses to the pop up systems.

I've just had to fix a Gardena system for a lady who had difficulty setting it up every year. She had a variety of things, the leaky hose type buried underground and the sprinklers for veg - they worked really well. Also had the moisture meters attached to the timers so the borders didn't get overwatered. Its quite fiddley to get set up but once you've got it sussed its not too bad.

I've heard other people say the hozelock one is easier to use/set up and is cheaper than the Gardena system but I've no experience of it.

I'm not sure what this system has for watering lawns though, I didn't need it but was good for borders and veg patches.
