Pop up sprinklers
I am just laying a new lawn.
I noticed that in America, they often have the pop-up sprinklers buried in the lawn. This seems a tidy solution to my future watering needs. I appreciate I probably can't connect them straight up to the main water with out a one-way flow valve to ensure no contaimnants feed back. Gardena seems to be the only make I can find widely available on the Internet in the UK. Has anyone any experience of using these in there garden and which make have you installed ? Anyone fed it from mains water ? |

Has anyone any experience of using these in there garden and which make have you installed ? Anyone fed it from mains water ? Invention of the Devil, say I in my tree-hugging mode. I don't honestly think the national water economy can any longer afford to use water for lawns. Save it for Lords when we avenging Aussies come back, attuned to the dry tracks back home! (I will say, though, that Oliver Cromwell -- of all people -- did have concealed sprinklers installed in the walks: at the turn of a tap, the great Puritan could produce consternated hilarity with a well-placed jet up visiting ladies' skirts.) -- Mike. |
