Irrigation in winter ?
Super helpful member
Hi
My wife and I bought a villa in April this year. We have a South facing, gently sloping garden with some large pine trees and an assortment of fruit trees/flowering shrubs/berries. The ground is surfaced with chippings, around 2-3 inches deep.
There is a irrigation system (a battery operated time-clock valve and a series of pipes). I worked out that it need a battery (!) in August, got the water working, and, thankfully, only one bush died. You can tell that I am no expert at this stuff.
So, any advice welcomed .... do I need to leave the irrigation running through the colder months, or will the plants take care of themselves ?
The system currently runs for 40 minutes each day (overnight), and the plants now look quite healthy.
Thanks
Kelvin
