Evening all,
I know considering the weather that this question may seem a little miss placed but I want to get ahead this year before the mad planting rush and I was thinking of making a drip irrigation system firstly for my polytunnel.
If this is successful I will then make one for the whole plot if that is possible and I was just wondering if anyone had done this before and if they could give me a few hints/tips.
Is it as simple as putting 'a few' small holes in a hose pipe connected to a big water barrel with a tap?
I am currently searching to see if I can get some materials for this on freecycle.
My plot has a slope of around 15-30 degrees as a guestimate I reckon. There is also water available several plots away but if I can utilise the rainwater from my polytunnel to fill the barrel that would be top!
Thanks for your help,
Samuel
