Automatic watering systems have become increasingly popular, allowing gardeners to take time off from manually watering the garden, while having peace of mind that the garden will stay hydrated even if you’re on holiday.

Hozelock is expanding its extensive automatic watering offering with the launch of the new SolarDrip, an ideal solution for pots, flowerbeds and hanging baskets.

This innovative solution is entirely solar-powered, enabling users to water up to 20 pots by harnessing the sun's energy, offering a complete and eco-friendly watering solution.  

The timer features a large solar panel face, powering three rechargeable batteries, eliminating the use of electricity and effectively utilising renewable natural resources. A handy hook on the back of the timer allows it to be placed on a flat surface or hung on a wall or flowerpot for added convenience.

With 13 preset watering programmes, users have full control over the duration and frequency of watering, as well as the volume delivered per dripper. 

Additional features include a ‘Rain Delay’ function, which pauses watering in response to weather forecasts, helping to conserve water, and a ‘Water Now’ function for immediate watering at any time. 

Operating on a water reserve and compatible with rainwater collectors like water butts, the Hozelock SolarDrip not only reduces household water consumption but also takes advantage of rainwater harvesting. 

The new SolarDrip, which was previewed at Glee, will officially launch in February 2025 and will be available in all good garden centres, with an RRP of £124.99.
