Hi All,
I fitted a gardena automatic watering system to my small cottage
carden
earlier this year. It has worked great, and saved me around an hour
a day
watering. What I've noticed now though, is that because I haven't
been
fertilizing anything, plants are looking a bit pale, so are loosing
leaves.
So - I want to add some kind of automatic fertilizer dispensor to
the
system. Gardena seem to sell one, but not as part of their
drip-watering
system. Has anyone seen anything (or is using anything) like this
with a
drip feed watering system? One thing I'm worried about is ensuring
nothing
goes in with the water that could block the drippers and hence the
flow of
water so I'm guessing it would almost certainly have to be a liquid
fertilizer system.

If anyone knows of anything let me know. The only thing I've seen so
far is
one from an alternative brand product, that fits into the pressure
regulator. I'd prefer not to go that route as I already have a
pressure
regulator, and I'm not sure what effect it would have on the system
if I
relpaced it with an alternative brand one - I'm assuming the
drippers are
designed to work at a specific pressure. Another brand may have a
different
pressure.

So, in summary, if anyone knows of an add-on I could use, please let
me
know!!

Surely you can spare an hour applying fertiliser by hand once or twice
a year?
