Mini irrigation piping/fittings suppliers?
Hi all, does anyone use a mini-irrigation system for your garden and if so, could you please recommend a good place to get the piping and fittings?
We have 1 large and 1 small greenhouses and several raised beds, plus few pots too, all growing veggies and herbs. It takes about 2hrs to water everything by hand and sometimes I just don't have enough time so I'm thinking to install a mini irrigation system I could use when it is more convenient.
I've found a how-to youtube video, and it looks like I'd be looking for a rigid-ish 15mil pipe buried underground to make a network around the garden, then smaller flexible mini-irrigation pipe, some pipe connectors (elbows, T-s) and end stoppers, and mini drippers/sprayers that would be connected to the piping for the irrigation.
Is there a good supplier I could get all this, hopefully of good quality so that it lasts (ideally I'd want to leave it in place just drain for the winter, and resume irrigation next summer and so on)

We bought ours some time ago, from a commercial growers supply firm. Afraid I can’t remember their name, but googling ‘commercial horticultural supplies’ should bring some results. It worked out much cheaper and more adaptable than the kits available in B&Q etc. which never have enough of the important bits!

Try LBS Horticulture. I think they still have a public-facing presence in addition to serving the trade.
Never believe anything until it's officially denied.
