Hi Neil and Charles on the subject of watering I would like to tell what I do at home.
I have had an automatic watering system set up which initially was used for my hanging baskets and wall troughs you can vary the timings and duration of the watering to suit the weather conditions.
This year I have set up raised beds for growing at home following Charles’s no dig method with great success.
But what I found using the 4mm piping the water was short at the end of the run, so I put a dual feed on the tap put extra tubing joining at the end to form a ring main it has given a more consistant flow of water to all points now.
I find that it is sufficiant to keep the soil nice and moist.
