This handy box contains the Flopro Beds & Borders - Watering and Irrigation Kit. Conveniently packaged, simple and easy to use with a quick set up time, this kit is perfect for busy gardeners. Easily hooked up to a timer to water while you're away (available separately), this kit also benefits you by saving up to 70% of the water normally used when watering by hand. No scissors or tools are required, and the water is directed straight to the roots of the plants. The irrigation system can water raised beds and borders up to 1.2m x 2.4m, (4ft x 8ft) with a flow of 1.2 litres an hour. Simply run the pipe along the soil where required and secure into place using the ground spikes. This irrigation system can also be extended to join onto another kit due to its modular system. Water can be drawn from a water butt, (minimum outlet height 35cm) and fit any water timer for a fully automatic watering system, available separately.
