Hi, we've just given over part of our garden to growing vegetables and would love to install a tap in the area.
I want the most simple method, I have thought of running a heavy duty hose pipe from an unused tap in another part of the garden. The hose would have to be buried for about 5 meters and the rest could be run overground behind some bushes to the position I want the tap. However I have a few concerns that I'd appreciate some feedback on.
1. Will hosepipe be sufficient, given I would rather leave the original tap open I don't want a massive leak!
2. Connecting the hose to the input of the new tap (sure it can be done just don't know how!)
3. How is best to drain the system for winter months?
Thank you very much, I really need all the help I can so any response at all will be really appreciated thanks!
