I've just installed one of those dripper systems across pots and
hanging baskets around the patio and I have to say that I'm quite
unimpressed. Not all the drippers drip at the same rate even though
they're all supposed to be fixed at 4 l/h so every so often halfway
along the row I find one that is giving nothing while elsewhere
another will be flooding. Unfortunately with the foliage in the way I
spend more time checking that its working correctly and correcting
where it has underwatered than if I just watered by hand in the first
place.


The drippers are a waste of time i just leave the tube open and run for 2
mins am and 2 mins pm. Switch on in May, off in October. Hostas have saucers
below, big pots have two pipes (4mm) and the rest have a single pipe and no
saucer. With proper crocking in the pots it works just fine.
