Here at Easy Garden Irrigation, we pride ourselves for making our business as eco-friendly as possible. We're not perfect, but there are steps that every business can take to ensure they minimise the impact they have on the environment, and we'd love to share with other businesses steps they can follow to reduce wastage (which can also reduce costs - now that's good business sense), and to become an eco-friendly business.

We've been busy working on bringing homeowners and landscape gardeners the very best guides to help them plan and install garden watering systems for themselves. Recently we added a guide to planning and installing micro jet and spray irrigation systems, which has had great feedback, along with our guide on planning and installing drip irrigation systems we published a couple months ago. Pretty soon we will have a couple more very important guides that we will be publishing, including a guide for planning and installing pop up sprinkler systems, and a guide for troubleshooting irrigation systems.

We mentioned at the beginning of the year in our blog post The Year Ahead for Easy Garden Irrigation - 2014 that we will be extending our reach into the rest of Europe. Well today we are pleased to announce that we have opened the doors for orders going to Ireland. This is thanks to our partnership with Parcelforce Worldwide, and their amazing service and prices. We can ship any order to Ireland for a maximum of £25. Smaller orders will be charged a lower price of £3.90.

Here at Easy Garden Irrigation we've been busy putting together a massive range of help guides for you, the general public, to learn more about garden irrigation systems. If you haven't already seen it, head over to the Irrigation Help & Advice section of our website and have a read through to learn more about garden irrigation.

We're especially excited about the videos that we have planned this year as well, and wanted to let you know about the Easy Garden Irrigation YouTube channel.

After the terrible winter we've had, record levels of rainfall and flooding around the country, its nice to see the sun make an appearance. We've been fortunate enough in Pembrokeshire to have beautiful clear days. However ironic it may be to start thinking about watering the garden, if you want to install a garden watering system, now is the time to do it. If you get it done now, you can have the whole spring and summer to enjoy your garden, and those quick spontaneous trips away won't leave you worrying about your garden.

We've just put together the Drip Irrigation System Planning and Installation Guide for our customers to use. Reading the guide will help you to learn what drip irrigation is all about, how to go about planning the ideal drip irrigation system for your garden, choosing the right drippers for the job, and how to install a drip irrigation system. We've also included several example shopping lists to help readers get a feel of which components they should be purchasing for their drip irrigation system.

We managed to sneak away from our base in Haverfordwest today to see the folks at Web Adept, based in St Davids to discuss our website and online marketing (thanks for the coffee as well guys). Knowing how pretty the City is, we also took the time to have a wonder round the Cathedral and ruins. Take a look at some of the photos we took on our trip. Shame the weather wasn't great, otherwise we would have better photos to share.

To help our customers choosing a garden watering system, we've launched a free design service. You can either call our team on 01437 531 064 to get advice and help to build a shopping list, or you can complete our Garden Irrigation Design Pack and send it through to our technical team via email.

You can also use the Garden Irrigation Design Pack to help yourself determine your requirements, but we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about any aspect of designing and installing a garden watering system.

We first opened our doors a few months ago to customers in the UK. We are so pleased with the amazing response and support we've had so far from you, our fantastic customers. We also want to express our thanks to some of our customers that have experienced some of our teething problems and were extremely patient. [..]
