Hi,

I sorry to bother everyone with what is probably a question that has been
asked and answered many times. But the line to "Watering" in the FAQ does
not seem to be working.

My query is simple really. I have twenty pots in my garden containing a
variety of plants all of which require regular watering. They pots range in
diameter from about 9" to 18". I am looking or an automatic watering system
that will do the job while I'm on holidays and maybe even when I at home to
save me the trouble of watering them myself. I have looked at a few
possibilities from a "Hozelock" timed watering "pod" system to a gentle
soaking system called "Blumat" by a company I think called "Tropf" utilizing
a cone inserted into the compost.

I have no experience of any system and would welcome advise from anyone who
has used either of these or other automatic watering systems.

Thanks in advance.

Jay.

Jay, we have a Hozelock system, it is easy, simple and efficient. You
can programme it to water twice a day for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or however
many minutes you want. I have it on twice a day for 1 minute each,
morning and evening and I find that it sufficient for all my pots and
baskets.
