A slightly cheaper alternative t  Hoselock is Wickes.  They d  a Watering
Kits for =A320 which includes about 25 metre of 13mm plastic pipe, 5
spraye=
rs
and 5 drippers together with some joining pieces.  About the cheapest I've
seen.

Ok then Mark. I have a six way system controlled by HV. I made a relay
board
to insulate any dodgy wiring on my part from HV. The early 4 way version
can
be seen on the files/pictures are of Yahoo. I still have the template for
the relay board if you want to use one of those. In round figures the
valves
are around a tenner each and the relays about a pound. The plumbing was
around ten quid all in as well. Some Cat 5, connectors and you're off. I
also made a rather natty housing out of a drain cover and some plywood for
it all over the weekend. Wifey liked that although she is not so keen on
the
Cat 5 to it (and the network extension I snuck into the kitchen when she
wasn't looking!). As always though the hosing and irrigation stuff costs a
fortune (Hozelok or however it is spelt). If you want more piccies just
ask.
Where in Sussex are you? I have rellys down Worthing way.
