Looking to either install a new or upgrade our old existing irrigation system in Comox.
Would appreciate any and all recommendations. Thank you.
We did it ourselves (by ‘we’ I mean my husband ). There are lots of parts available from Home Depot (locally) or Lee Valley. Lee Valley also has complete kits to make it a little easier. They also have a pretty good guide online here:
And here’s another site that my husband also recommended:
Our setup has 8 raised beds (a mix of 4 x 4 and 8 x 4) and a greenhouse so it was a fairly large project.
Sorry, I know nothing about local installers. Hopefully someone else on the Forum will chime in here.
Thanks Lorna, I appreciate the link and info. I was hoping to have a system installed as we’re trying to avoid jail or divorce court.
I can highly recommend Steve Gray of Monarch Irrigation - http://www.monarchirrigation.com/
He’s renovated the old “grass based” system to a much more useful system to deals with flowers and vegetables (micro heads that I can move around).
He’s friendly, efficient and very keen to explain things so that I can make changes as needed.
As you’d expect, he’s very busy.
Thank you Gael for the recommendation and yes, Monarch must be great because we tried to get hold of them both last and this year - unfortunately, they’re still not accepting new clients at this time.
I recommend Hydra Irrigation Ltd. Matt is excellent.
Thank you Diana, I’ll give Matt at Hydra a call.
