Automatic Watering System Ultimate Kit for 8x10 Greenhouse

Ultimate layout: This kit uses larger paired pots in a layout designed for an 8x10 greenhouse. It has twenty-two easy2grow trays and forty-four 15L pots. The pots give tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and other climbing crops more room to grow. Water flows from a separate reservoir by gravity. There is no pump to run, and no mains water connection or electricity is needed.

For heavier-feeding climbing crops in an 8x10 greenhouse, we recommend this AutoPot automatic greenhouse irrigation system. The greenhouse watering kit has thirty 15L pots in fifteen paired easy2grow trays.

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.
