Awesome, thanks for answering Gav. We do have a nice gentle slope above the vegie beds, perfect for a gravity-fed system.

Hi Darren. The Moss inline drippers work a little better than the drip eze I have found, but if I only turn one bed on at a time, they are about the same. Today I turned on all the Moss based beds, and they all worked, even the furthermost away which are about 7-9 metres from the furthest water butt. If you have a natural drop on your new block, you shouldn't have too many problems getting decent head pressure.

Hi dixiebelle, you are most welcome. If he has any questions, just get him to send me an email.

That looks great, Gav! I'm planning to start something similar on my vege beds at the new place.

How are you finding the Drip Eze and the Moss Inline drippers when working from a simple gravity-fed water butt? Do they have a pretty even flow? Do the drippers at the start of the run flow faster than the ones at the far end?

I'm a bit concerned that with such low water pressure, I'm going to end up with very little water coming out the far end of the line.

Thanks for the great photos and details. It really makes it easy to follow your design and to see what you're trying to achieve.
