Lawn, garden and DIY cupboards projects - What are you guys doing ?
simonc I measured the flow a few times. It averages about 1100 L/h. I haven’t measured the bar pressure yet. I will grab a cheaper tool from amazon. Hunter sprinklers suggest a minimum of 2.3 bar pressure and 1200 L/h to install 5 MP 2000 navigators.
Their 5 pack version is interesting!
LMSC that’s basically all the stuff I have but only one under ground so far and 2 waiting to go in.
That’s the optimal way to do a square lawn but there are others. Mine is rectangular so I’m just doing one in middle of each long side. The middle gets watered more than the rest but I’m ok with that. Better than the cost of running all the extra pipe and as I can only run one at a time all the extra control valves too.

simonc Thx. Mine is rectangular a half-polygon finish on one side. Spent some time developing this from barren lawn. I made the mistake of not top dressing to level out an uneven bumpy surface.
It is in a decent shape now, although it is not densely grown; as a result, a lot of moss has taken over since last season. We have now eliminated the moss, raked and aerated it. Will be top dressing and over seeding this week.
Plan to lay MDPE pipes just outside the edges, one each on all 4 corners,
one additional on 3 sides and nothing at the centre and on the semi-circle side.
The area is about 90 sq M.
Mines all over the shop 🤣

Moss is the biggest lawn killer!

True, but it’s green and needs little work…If I squint like Clint Eastwood, my lawn can look pretty good after I have cut it. 🤣
And there’s me cutting my lawn with a petrol more, had to buy vpower too 🤣

Cuprajake I changed to an electric, lithium battery mower about 4 years ago…never looked back since.
All my garden tools are electric - mower, trimmer, vericutter and blower.

Never occurred to me these even exist! I thought it was either petrol (with all the maintenance hassle that goes with it) or a mains electric (with all the inconvenience of being tied to the wall by a cable. Will give this a serious consideration if my petrol mower packs up. Which one do you have and recommend? How much operation time do you get out of a charge?
Doram Mine is a greenworx or something like that. One 40V 2. Ah battery cuts my lawns with some to spare.. I have a big garden.
They are so much easier and faster to get started. Just take it out, shove the battery in and mow.
