One Year With a Smart Gardena Irrigation System!

It's time to reinstall my Gardena Smart Irrigation system! It worked so well last year and it made sure we were able to go on a much-needed vacation in the middle of the summer when the greenhouse was frying pretty much everything we put in it.

So as you might have seen in my previous video this drip irrigation system is very much based on a few products from Gardena. First, we have the smart water control unit, then the smart sensor, and lastly, it's a kit for potted plants that I extended with a few more loose parts.

This video is a bit of a mix between my one-year review of using both the watering system and the app it comes with, but also a step-by-step guide in installing this when you're setting up drip irrigation system in raised beds for the second time around.

1:37 my #1 pro tip: use a heat gun for a few seconds on the ends of the 13mm hose when installing. It makes installing so much better!

Do you actually use the moisture sensor to run the water. Thought about replacing irrigation system with simple drip hose and bog standard timer but not worth it if sensor doesn't really run well.

How many times did you have to change the batteries?How long do they stay for? Also I guess with the app I will be able to control the watering from any part of the world? Did they included additional information re the amount of litters it uses? When not in greenhouse but outside in different parts of the garden can i use maltiple sensors and how would it work in terms of information when to water the garden? My front part of the garden is very wet whilst the back is very dry, how this smart water system would work with this?

A little tip for you.. If you put the mainline tube into hot water for 3-5 seconds and then this will soften the tube and will make it easier to pug into the connectors. BECAREFUL when using the hot water. Sorry that this tip is so late for you but will hopefully help you going forward.

My pro tip for attaching the pipes: start working out and go to the gym 😅/ anyways I liked the review! I can only give you the advice to buy the 2000l main unit, it may be expensive but it’s worth it! I love this system!

If they are a total pain to attach soak the hose in boiling water before attaching as it makes it easier

Hei, dersom micro drip systemet blir installert ute, vet du om vi må ta det inn før frosten? Eller er det bare basisenheten som må tas inn? Det stod ikke så mye på manualen utenom basisenheten (den tingen som kobles mot hageslangen). Takk :)

Gardena explicitly tells you to take the grey part inside in winter.

At least you did a dry-run before you put all of the plants in. Would be way worse to notice that issue in production.

Two of those have busted on me! Any tips for stopping it happen?

Do an update. You’re the only showing this system. I would like to see the sprinklers in action and how much it covers etc

For hairline cracks like that - self-amalgamating tape is your friend.. not a permanent fix but will get you by a couple of days …
