Dear all,

I have put an automatic watering system in my garden from B&Q. After
dithering over Hozelock and Gardena systems I found B&Q did their own
which was cheaper, and seems to work very well. I've got drippers in
pots and boxes and sprayers and sprinklers for the beds. So far so
good.


I do not think the problem is necessarily with the timer - when I
first bought my Gardena irrigation system (quite a few years ago)
there was a pressure control until which went between the tap and the
drippers. I have now added a timer so I have:

tap----timer-----pressure controller------drippers

and it works very well.
