    Hoses & Kitchen Sink Taps

    Quite a number of years ago I used a self cutting tap, mainly due to access issues, The hole they cut is possibly about 6 mm also the bit they cut out is retained in the original 12 mm pipe.

    Ivy root really easily, I'd just pot it up rather than have it in water.
