On Amazon, this kit has amassed over 1.6k reviews, with the majority bestowing 5-stars. One happy customer who picked up this Gardena kit says: “Our potted plants were still in perfect shape after being alone for more than a month during summer vacation. It’s good to have some trial period before the vacation to see what is the right amount of water for each plant (we have 5 plants from big to small with very different needs).”
Another beams: “Just before I had to leave for 3 weeks, I realized that during this period no one can pour my flowers in the apartment. Family and friends live too far away and I didn’t want to entrust my key to my neighbors. So I inquired on the Internet about solutions and came across automatic irrigation systems like this one relatively quickly. These are already available for from 20€, but the ratings are also accordingly mediocre. Therefore, I decided on more expensive variant of gadena and I did not regret it. The quality of all components is excellent from my point of view. In the scope of delivery there is plenty of hose, which can be individually and easily cut to size. For the first setup for my 7 indoor plants I took about an hour, whereby I also took time and wanted to do everything very carefully. So this is certainly faster.”
Though this shopper does note: “I have been using this system year round for 3 years. It takes care of the plants that are awaiting display in my home. If I’m away I move all plants to the corner where it is set up. It is somewhat fiddly to set up, but so worth it. I’m probably going to get a second set.”
You can pick up this set for £70.97, down from £114.48, over on Amazon. Or, you can buy a smaller at-home watering kit from Gardena at Debenhams for £26.98. Meanwhile, over at B&Q, shoppers can pick up this Mighty Dripper Greenhouse Plant Watering Irrigation System Gravity Fed Water Drip Kit for £16.99.
