Have been given a kit for the greenhouse whilst on hols. Previous owner
couldn't make it work and neither can I. It comprises a pressure reducer
joint, black tubing and a number of plastic drippers and joints. The
problem is that when connected up the flow at the ends of the pipes is a
steady drip but this tapers off the nearer to the reducer joint you get.
If you adjust the flow for a consistent drip close to the joint the
steady drip tuns into a steady stream at the ends of the network. Have
tried varying the pressure but with no success. Can anyone offer any help?

Just checking that what you wrote is what you meant. Nearest to
the supply (reducer end) the supply is poor, but the further down
the pipe you go, the greater the flow from the drippers? That is
certainly counter-intuitive.

Presumably it is mains fed?

Is the supply pipe roughly horizontal, or is there a significant
change in level?

Are the drippers identical?

Any manufacturer's idents?
