An \u003cstrong\u003eAQUAvalve5\u003c\/strong\u003e in the end compartment lets in a shallow fill and closes until the plants have taken it up, so there is no flooding, no run-off and no daily watering – just connect it to a water butt or reservoir and it runs on gravity, with no pumps or power. Endorsed by the \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Horticultural Society\u003c\/strong\u003e and made in the UK from recycled plastics, it suits greenhouses, patios, balconies and indoor grow rooms alike.
