About Watering Accessories
Watering accessories are essential tools for maintaining gardens, allotments, and indoor plants with precision and efficiency. From water butt taps and drip irrigation systems to specialist planters and water treatments, these accessories help gardeners and growers optimise their watering routines whilst conserving water. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of watering accessories from trusted brands including Hozelock, Gardena, Draper, and ALM, suitable for both professional horticulturists and home gardeners.
Modern watering accessories have evolved beyond simple hose attachments to include automated solutions like capillary matting, self-watering systems, and bottle-fed drip irrigators. These innovative products enable consistent moisture delivery to plants, reducing water waste and ensuring healthier growth even during dry spells or when you're away from home.

Choosing The Right Watering Accessories
Selecting appropriate watering accessories depends on several practical considerations:
Plant type and location: Container plants and hanging baskets benefit from self-watering systems like Aquasolo drip waterers, whilst vegetable patches work well with growbag waterers and capillary matting for consistent moisture delivery.
Water source: If you're using water butts for rainwater harvesting, ensure you have compatible taps with standard 3/4" BSP fittings and consider water treatments to prevent odours and algae growth.
Automation requirements: Gravity-fed systems and bottle-cone irrigators provide hands-free watering ideal for holidays or busy schedules, whilst adjustable sprinklers on tripods offer flexible coverage for larger areas.
Brand compatibility: MyToolShed stocks market-leading Hozelock and Gardena systems, both offering extensive accessory ranges that integrate with their respective connector systems for leak-free operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can self-watering systems sustain plants?
Bottle-fed drip waterers typically provide 5-10 days of watering depending on bottle size, plant type, and weather conditions. Capillary mat systems can sustain plants for similar periods when properly saturated, making them ideal for holiday watering.
Are water butt taps universal?
Most water butt taps use the standard 3/4" BSP thread fitting common across UK water butts. Always verify your water butt's outlet size before purchasing, though adapters are available for non-standard connections.
Do I need to treat water butt water?
Whilst rainwater is generally safe for plants, stagnant water can develop unpleasant odours and surface scum. Water butt treatments help maintain water quality, prevent bacterial growth, and keep your stored rainwater fresh for longer periods.
