Hozelock Autopods

[leoblackcat]

Does anyone have the hozelock autopod watering system? Autopod 10 says it can water 10 containers - but i have loads more than that. I know you can add more autopods but that is quite expensive - is it possible to also get an irrigation system and attach this to one of the autopod hoses to water additional pots from just 2 pods?

Only asking as they are cheap on amazon and I keep wondering whether to get one or whether i should just get irrigation system pipes and connectors etc and a timer....

I got a irrigation system from £streacher and connected it to a water butt. Only cost £5.

i am beginning to think that is the way to go - just need a cheap timer (do they sell these in £stretcher too?) so they plants will still be watered when we are on holiday.

I ran my Greenhouse for a week last summer on my water butt with the irrigation system on all the time no probelms.

I saw discounted timers at Wyvale and Wilkos recently.
