The Hozelock Easy Drip System available at MyToolShed.co.uk provides an efficient and water-saving solution for targeted garden irrigation. This innovative drip watering system delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing water consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional sprinklers or hosepipe watering.

Choosing The Right Hozelock Easy Drip System

Assess Your Garden Requirements: Count the plants, containers, or beds requiring irrigation. Complete system sets are ideal for first-time users, whilst individual components like additional drippers and extension hoses suit those expanding existing setups.

Measure Water Source Distance: Calculate the length of supply hose needed from your outdoor tap to the irrigation area. The system typically covers up to 15 metres from the pressure regulator.

Consider Plant Water Needs: Universal adjustable drippers at MyToolShed.co.uk offer flow rates between 0-4 litres per hour. Thirsty vegetables and containers need maximum flow, whilst established shrubs require less.

Evaluate Automation Options: Decide whether manual control suffices or if automatic timers (purchased separately) would benefit your schedule, particularly valuable during holidays.

Plan for Future Expansion: The modular design allows starting small and expanding as needed with additional flexible hose and universal drippers.
