Hi All, I have purchased one of these for my cucumbers and melon plants in the greenhouse. Does anyone else use this for their plants? What results have you had? Had often did you top the water up? Did you have any problem with the water going stagnant?
Any feedback appreciated...
No one? or used a simliar irrigation system?
Can you post a link to the item you have bought as the name means nothing to me
Hi i am interested in hearing about your irigation system, i am going on holiday soon for two weeks! im worried about all the fruit and veg in my greenhouse and have been considering getting one of the automatic watering systems for while i am away. So any feedback or information you recieve will be good for me too
this is the system and it does seem to be keeping the plants well watered so far
I had to go abroad for a month mid-May to mid-June leaving my black-fingered husband in charge of my lovingly raised tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. I decided to give my plants the best chance of surviving and bought both the easy2grow (6 pots) and Octogrow (greenhouse sensation) systems.
All my plants are outdoors
they both work slightly differently but were equally easy/ fiddly to set up. Everything apart from the cucumbers (he managed to kill them, waited too long to fill the water reservior and "they just wilted") is growing like mad and the first blossoms are appearing on the tomatoes. Haven't used the fertiliser mix both systems include yet.
One thing I like about the Octogrow is that you can get lids to fit the pots which are like cloches, I'm trying desperately to coax my last remaining cucumber to grow under one now.
Haven't seen any problems with contamination and I think it would be unlikely as both have valves on the reservior to stop water from the pots coming back into the bucket
Thanks for that input and glad you are having luck with them My cues seem to be flourish and I just picked the first two today!!!! Keep us updated as well
