X-No-Archie:
I live in South Australia, and I was recently down at my local hardware store and happened to notice this "new" sort of underground spike watering system. I=92m not sure exactly what brand it was, but it was the same sort of principle as this:
I am trying to find out if anyone has used this watering system, or anything similar? Any comments? In principle, it looks fantastic. What I especially like about it is the fact that you only need to fill one tank of water, rather than walking around your whole garden watering everything. I=92m fairly sure my soil has a fairly high clay content, and I=92m worried that the irrigation spikes might block up to the point where the water simply won=92t drain at all. If the water drainage becomes slow, but doesn=92t actually stop, that=92s fine. I=92m just concerned about a total blockage. I=92m also not interested in spending mega bucks =96 can=92t stress that enough. Any advice at all? Different brands better than others? Etc.
