You certainly have your Polytunnel irrigation solutions well under control. The timer's are a great idea. In the summer months, we set our system to water the polytunnel automatically at 6am & 6pm every day - perfect if you are planning a holiday too.

We've had the guttering and butts for 2 years now - greta for dipping butts - my theory is the rain that falls on the roof should be enough for the beds. This year we're adding an irrigation system based on butt at each corner and leaky hose into the raised beds. we may add a timer salvaged from the sprinkler system (can't get enough water pressure that far down the garden)
