The flowers and bushes on my terrace are beautiful – provided you water them regularly. And Gardena offers great options for doing this automatically. For this, you need the Gardena Micro-Drip-System, which in my case consists of the following components:Shopping list for an automatic irrigation systemWater computer, e.g., C 1060 Solar

Pressure reducer Gardena Master Unit 1000, required to reduce the high pressure of the water pipe

Distribution pipe 4.6mm (15m long) for the actual distribution of the water
Micro-Drip-System shut-off valve to shut off the irrigation, or parts of it
Micro-Drip-System T-pieces to reach the individual plants
