dripper system

ok guys i have a wilma 4 pot with the dripper system, i havent been using the dripper system just now, the problem is where to place the dripper in the pot, will all the soil get wet if i put it in one place or do i need to move the dripper about the pot every watering?

c.mon some one must have used these

is there any body out there?

Never used 1 before...would of thought u just keep it in one place though init sounds stupid if you have to move it around every feeding, if your gonna do that you might as well just water them by hand lol.

I haven't seen one of what you are talking about, but if the dripper drops water in one spot then thats not good. You want the dripper to drop around the circumference of the plant.

I believe 2 types of drippers are provided: Flood and arrow. Arrow is for soil or coco. the drip will saturate all of the soil by cappilary action, no need to move.

Someone give me a link where I can see this dripper set-up. I'm looking at some myself.

yes i got two sets of drippers, so i just place it near the root ball and physics will take control? lol

here is the link, it shows pics of the drippers http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Hydroponics-266/Wilma-Systems-272/Wilma-4-Pot-System-253.aspx


one dipper just drips out and the other sprays out two streems of water

Just water them when the soil what your trying to do sounds really stupid. You might as well just get a hydro set up if you don't want to water them.

Yup. physics. The one that shoots the stream should be for clay rocks because rock is not as pourous as coco or soil. In fact if you do go rock, mix with some coco. The coco will prevent channeling.
