Drip watering of garden - anybody design their own?

wait4me · 2013-07-22 15:16:59

I am thinking of putting in some drip watering into my beds for next year. I have a (1000 litre) IBC and was thinking of hooking up some hoses to it. Anybody ever do this? I have about 6 months to do it, so ideas welcome.

Yes I've done it with my polytunnel and it works great. I used a lidl brand timer and lidl brand soaker hoses. As it happens the hoses were on offer for 6 euro last Saturday. Picked up a few to do the whole plot. Ring round and see if they have any left in the stores.
