I would be quite interested in this too. Do you think the B & Q in Fethiye might have garden irrigation products in stock

Hi !
I don't know it's the reason why about my question? I' am looking from somebody who installed such system in its garden! I hope that such system is utilised by foreign resident in Fethiye...if I could get any address?
Thanks a lot/B.Regards

Karaculha is the place. There are a number of firms selling irrigation systems. Anadolu Sulama,on the right as you go in is one of the big stores. Make sure you get several quotes as 'tourist price' is not unheard of.

No,I haven't used an automatic system although it only needs a water computer of some kind on the tap. I purchased all the bits, sprinklers, drips and feeder, microbore and drip hose and made my own system. Really easy and very affordable. Available in most of the shops marked either 'Sulama' or 'Tarim' Just draw a diagram of the garden with sizes and position of water supply etc. and the shop people will work out what you need.

With a bit more thought I,m sure a pop-up system is quite as easy as a DIY. If you need any more info just message me.

For those wishing to keep the cost down, do consider using a basic hose and put simple small holes along it's lenght. The spacings will vary with hole size and pressure, try every two/three foot or so. If after a time, you do find you need more, just cut more to suit. 8)
