Netafim or Hunter Eco-Wrap
Pressure-compensating in-line drip line, rated for direct burial under mulch, lasts a decade.
Drip irrigation puts water exactly where the roots are, with no overspray, no evaporation and no run-off. We design and install drip systems for garden beds, hedges, potted plants and vegetable patches across Melbourne's south-east, usually as part of a wider Hunter or Rainbird install.
Pressure-compensating in-line drip line, rated for direct burial under mulch, lasts a decade.
Drip runs on a different controller zone than spray heads, so each gets the schedule it actually needs.
Individual emitters on each pot, set by the dripper, so the camellia doesn't drown and the herbs don't dry out.
Same Hunter Hydrawise or Rainbird LNK app as the lawn zones. One controller for the whole property.
Drip irrigation is exempt from most Melbourne water restrictions because of how little it uses.
Drip is the most underrated part of a residential irrigation system. Most installers add it as an afterthought. We design it from the start. A properly run drip line keeps an established garden alive through any summer Melbourne can throw at it, and uses about a fifth of the water of an above-ground spray.

Yes. We run a drop line off the main drip with individual adjustable emitters per pot. Set once, watered forever.
Pressure-compensating in-line drip from Netafim or Hunter is rated for direct burial under mulch and lasts at least 10 years. Cheap drip from a hardware store lasts about 2.
