It is nearly time for our holidays, and we all know what a bother it is to arrange for someone to do the watering for us whilst we’re away.

Why not invest in an irrigation system?  One I would recommend is the Hozelock Sensor Controller (£36.79).  It can be set to switch on once or twice a day at sunrise andd/or sunset, for five minutes to up to one hour at a time.  It knows when the sun rises and sets, so that the times follow the season – clever little thing!

If you’re going away for a longer period of time, the cloud controller set (£134.99) gives you full control over your watering, as it works via an app on your computer or smartphone.

So whilst lounging by the pool in Spain or or trekking in the Lake District checking the weather at home, in a couple of clicks, the watering is all sorted, and the hanging baskets are still looking fab when you get home.

Come into our shop and we can advise you on what we think is the best solution for your garden.  Also available is Coolings Irrigation Installation Service (Free site survey available).  Please ask in store for more details.

That, in combination with Hozelock’s ‘easy drip’ system (from £3.99), works a treat.
