Getting a water supply into the garden ....
This is such a basic question, I'm almost sorry to ask - but I can't
find a decent site to advise me ... I want to get a water supply into my garden ..... serving a 'water feature' (wildlife friendly is my intention) as well as making it easier to water my veggie plot. At the moment I run a hose the 150' from my outdoor tap to the veg plot (with some T's off which I connect hoses to water the tubs and containers on the way down). We're thinking of trying to establish a wildlife plot at the very bottom of the garden (220' from the tap!) which will have some kind of 'boggy bit'. Would it be OK just to take a 'spur' off the pipe supplying the outside tap and run a 15mm 'pvc'* pipe all the way to where the supply is required, fitting a tap at the veg garden (150') and somewhere in the wildlife garden (220') to support the 'pond', or whateve? Presure is OK via a hosepipe, so I guess it should be OK (if not better?) when properly 'plumbed'...... *by pvc I mean the 'plastic' pipe one can use push-fit connecters with .....) I'd look at burying the pipe maybe 9" - 12" deep in a place I'd not normally dig over ... Is it that simple? |
