Gardena Micro-Drip-System Starter Set Flower Pots M
Gardena's tap-fed drip starter kit for 7 pots and 3 troughs - pressure-reduced, per-pot adjustable and endlessly expandable within the Micro-Drip system.
4.1 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Per-pot adjustable drippers deliver individually tuned amounts, unlike one-size wick systems
- Pressure-reducing master unit gives consistent, even delivery across the run
- Quick & Easy push-fit parts assemble and reconfigure without tools
Watch outs
- Requires an outdoor tap and mains water pressure - a genuine blocker on many balconies
- No timer in this version; automatic watering needs the 13002-20 or a separate water control
- Initial pipe-cutting and layout takes an afternoon of fiddling to get neat
- Capacity 7 flower pots plus 3 planters/troughs
- Water source Outdoor tap via hose to the pressure-reducing Master Unit 1000
- Drippers 7 adjustable endline drip heads plus 9 inline drip heads (2 l/h class)
- Pipework 10 m of 13 mm supply pipe and 15 m of 4.6 mm connecting pipe
