I wasn't sure... but, please try to help

I wasn't sure if that is the right place to ask, But I fugured it is considering the fact that the company is a UK company. I'm starting my own garden and want to purchase a new irrigation system. I check this company, top irrigation (you can check their website, it's www.TopIrrigation.com ) and their prices. Now i'm not too sure about the price, which is why i'm asking you now. What do you think I should do. Buy their system for about 1500? (that's the max price by toprrigation's website), do you think I should do it? Do you know anybody else? Please advise...

Here is a link that might be useful: their website

Maybe I'm just cynical, but it looks to me as if you work for or own that company and are trying to get people to look at your website. Sneaky.

Hello Sneaky..

Not really :) Just buying a new house and wouldn't wanna spend too much on the irrigation system. The only thing is, I don't know what too much is ;)

I'm with you Anyanka. Even his name is to do with the irrigation system.

I wouldn't wory about an irrigation device unless I lived in the SE of England. And even then I'd consider buying a water butt or getting a 1/4 ton drum from a factory or something, bury it at the side of the house and put a connection into it from the bath and shower waste.

Then I'd either pump it to the main plot or have some sort of ducting take it there.

But thinking about that, the cost would come to something in the region of one or two thousand if I were to have it done professionally I imagine.

But just having a butt on a still and draining it periodically with an hosepipe, would come to about one or two hundred. Maybe £50 to get a plumber link it to your grey water.

If the OP is trying to set himself up in business he should have said. It's a good idea but not a staple earner.

If he's moving inrto a new house and can afford to hire a small digger, he should consider putting land drain pipes in to take his bath and washing machine water.

But not if he is thinking of going organic. Soap is OK (I think) but detergent is full of phosphates. Even dishwasher soap is a fertiliser. (It's used to make homebrew.)
