Looking for garden watering tips

What actually happens to the water in the pipes under the lawn in winter?
I mean, because of frost?

Best regards

Normally, the pipes are blown empty with a compressor in autumn. It works like with the irrigation, only that circle by circle is emptied with air. Therefore, it makes sense to install an air pressure connection in the valve box(es). Another option is frost-free installation and self-draining housings. Option 1 is more economical and simpler.

My opinion. Keep it simple. Gardena sprinkler for lawn. Otherwise watering can. Really. Works well.

Hello Birgit,
an irrigation system in your garden is more of a gimmick that can be a lot of fun for some people. If it's about an inexpensive and pragmatic solution: use lawn sprinklers and that's it. For new plants, the hose is used again and again, or just use a drip hose.
Sometimes simple is just as good.

Hm I’m planning to put some larger potted plants on the terrace,
It would be cool if they watered themselves automatically...

What about plants like roses and lavender, those would have to be watered regularly too

Therefore, it would first be necessary to find out exactly what will be planted there

There are pots/containers with integrated watering systems for this.
Is not visible.
Drip hose across the terrace is not the real thing.
