Growing with Drippers - An experiment in automation
Hello Mr. UK...
you are growing in soil correct?
why do you want to use drippers?
If you water properly (correct technique).. you will only need to water once every 3-10 days depending on...
plant age
plant size
room temperature
the main concern with using drippers (with soil as your medium) is finding the correct setting/interval of watering.
you don't want to over water , under water or promote uneven root growth in a pot or container...
uneven root growth is caused by improper watering techique... this can often lead to a plant becoming root bound

IF you are going to use drippers, I encourage you to use a 50% perlite mix with your soil.. this will prevent over watering...
keep us posted
