Automatic Watering System Essential Kit for 10x12 Greenhouse

Essential layout: This kit is designed for a 10x12 greenhouse. It has forty-eight 8.5L pots arranged in twenty-four easy2grow trays. Each tray takes a pair of pots. They suit tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and other climbing crops. A separate reservoir supplies water by gravity, so no pump is needed. You do not need a mains water connection or electricity.

Twenty 8.5L pots are arranged in ten paired easy2grow trays within this greenhouse watering kit. We recommend this AutoPot automatic greenhouse irrigation system for climbing crops in a 10x12 greenhouse.

The AQUAvalve5 handles the watering automatically. It lets a shallow 20mm layer of water into each tray, then shuts off. Once the plants have used that water, the valve opens and tops the tray up again. Water flows in by gravity from an external water butt or reservoir, so no pump is needed.

What you still need

You need one separate water butt or reservoir of at least 200L. This is not included with the kit.

If you keep a reservoir inside the greenhouse, leave enough room for it. You may need to remove one or two modules.

How to set it up

1. Choose a firm, level surface and check that every tray sits flat.
2. Place the external water butt or reservoir 150mm / 6 inches above the system.
3. Water the plants by hand when you first pot them up. Wait 7-28 days for roots to establish before turning on the system.
4. Flush the pipework every week.
