Any thoughts on watering system for a polytunnel

No wifi or elec so will need to be mechanical on a battery operated timer

Get an ibc and connect was drop feed system to it.

Thanks, what is an ibc system?

Hoselock and Verve do simple irrigation timers that connect to tap in BnQ. Working off a battery. Multiple settings options. You will need drip hose and a few basic connections.

1000l tank. Make sure it's used for food liquids.

Thanks

got this

and connected 16 from the pack below: 8 red and 8 blue.

12 meters of 1/2" and 16 m of 1/4

Works okay with 8 of the blue and even better with 4, but there is pressure drop across the unit so the 16 just dribble

Pressure/flow delivery is not enough so need to get a clock with multiple zones

Have ordered a 4 zone, should be here tuesday, works on the basis that only one zone will run at any one time so you can set the same start and duration for all 4 zones and it will run them in sequence.
