Drip irrigation for pots and containers
Pots are the hardest part of a garden to keep watered well. They hold less moisture, heat up from every side, and a missed day in August can mean a dead plant. Dripline takes the risk out of it.
One emitter per large pot
For pots over 25cm across, a single pressure-compensated dripper at the soil surface is usually enough. It releases water slowly so the compost absorbs it rather than running straight through.
Group pots by size
A tiny herb pot and a large bay tree need different amounts. Put similar-sized pots on the same zone or timer setting so nothing is drowned or starved.
Add a timer for holidays
A battery tap timer running your pot zone for 10 minutes each morning keeps everything ticking over while you are away. Pair it with a dripline and you have a hands-off container garden.
The takeaway
Pots reward consistency more than any other part of the garden. Dripline gives them exactly that.
