MIXC 226 FT Drip Irrigation System Kit, Automatic Watering System for Garden Greenhouse with 1/4" & 1/2" Tubing - Adjustable Nozzles & Sprinklers for Garden, Greenhouse, Lawn, Potted Plants

I purchased the MIXC irrigation system so i didn't have to rely on anybody to water our ever increasing array of pots and Hanging basket while we go on holiday. I've had to laugh at one review that its not suitable for installation by "Middle Class" people with soft hands as the connectors are quite fiddly. I'm not middle class neither am I manual labourer but I had no trouble fitting the system together, a jug of boiled water works wonders on this pipe to soften. Perhaps Middle class people don't read the instructions... I utilised a Diivoo WiFi Water Timer 3 Zones, Smart Sprinkler Timer with APP and its brilliant and works a treat, the schedules save me time and money by over watering the pots.

The product arrived promptly and is as described

Application: potted flowers and vegtables in pots and troughs. A very good election of drip feeders with firm fit. However, recommend firstly, softening tube in hot water and have a good grip, use a small washing flannel for grip. Generous lengths of tubing, but Plan before you start installing; plan as you install and problems will arise. Advised to use the 8 hole dripper as a preference to minster as ministers in some instances minsters can encourage mould. This, meant a further purchase of 8 hole drippers. The outcome to date is as planned. Plan, ensure all tubing connection are pushed on fully and you should not be disappointed with the produc. A Rainpoint Timer, 2 Zone is used with the equipment supplied in the Kit.

We were going on holiday and I decided at the beginning of the year that I would transform my small terrace garden into something filled with flowers, roses and also vegetables. As it approached going away and the news that a heatwave was going to hit the UK I was terribly concerned that all of the work and money that I’d spent would be wasted and my garden wouldn’t survive so I decided to get an irrigation system. This one seemed the best value and needed to cover a high number of planters, pots and the garden itself. I was so worried that it would be hard to plan out and what I needed to put where, never mind the thought of would it work and how hard it was to put together. I didn’t need to worry, it was simple, straightforward and didn’t take me long to install all of the nozzles and attachments as well as a timer. It’s the best thing that I’ve done and now it will remain in place forever. Saves me having to go round night after night when it’s hot and water which takes a good half an hour. Now I just leave it to do it’s thing and my garden is blooming.

Not as good as previous ones.

Easy to install, even I could sort it out. Worked great for the summer.

Great little set. I needed to add my own garden hose to reach from garden tap to green house. As I have 2 greenhouse, I had to cut the larger black feed tube in half and buy some hose splitters to make 2 seperate systems. They only supply one end stop, but got over that by plugging one with a short piece of 15mm copper pipe with a normal 15mm end stop on that. So this system is designed to be used as one continuous feed system but can be adapted into 2 seperate systems. The micro tubes are not user friendly. Almost impossible to get onto the nipples, and boiling water a must to soften them. Once softened, they go on quite easily, but once cooled, they don't really shrink and so put them on as carefully as possible, at a 90 degree push, to minimum little leaks.

Works as design
