😂😂 you seem to have a wee bit of a leak at the tap 🚰. I use hose clamps and then I can take them off if needed. Great job Bary, have a super week Ali 🇨🇦

Is there an easy way to do this without a hose as hoses are banned at my allotment. I have a lot of large plastic cooler bottles that I've collected

You could try making a couple of small holes in the bottom of the bottles for a slow water release. If the holes are below the surface they can last all day with a big bottle.

Will they split in winter when the water iced them up?

It’s best to disconnect everything from the water supply before freezing temperatures, but as long as any valves or drippers are open any water that’s still trapped will have space to expand without damaging anything. The pipes are generally quite tough, I’ve used a setup similar in a large outdoor system that can’t be emptied over winter and it would be the smaller dripper pipes that just pop off rather than split. It was an absolute pain in spring when they got turned on again and shot off!
