Watering the garden - rainwater

Table of contents

When and how often should I water?

It is obvious that plants needwaterto live. During their growth and on hot days, they need much more of it.

Discounts and flower bedsI waterregularly, preferably in the evening, when evaporation is the lowest. This gives me a guarantee that the plants are getting the right amount ofwater .

Irreplaceable rainwater

Best for watering israinwater . When it rains, it flows from the roof of the garage into a 210-liter barrel. The excess water is discharged into the sump through a pipe at the very top of the tank. I covered it with a pergola and a chest with clematis.

Cheap irrigation system

I have two hoses connected to the tap by the barrelhosesThe one led near the ground does not need much pressure. It saves our time andwaterbecause it goes straight to the plants. The second hose is used to fill the bucket, watering can or directgarden watering

When assemblinghose irrigation hose , I started by arranging it between the plants and marked its course with gravel. Then I dug a hole large enough not to damage the hose mechanically and provide the plants with adequatehydrationI fastened it with special pins so that it would not move.

Choice of equipment and accessories

Equipment is important forwatering . I paid particular attention tohose cart ,hose ,couplings ,sprinklersandpistol . They are to serve me for years, so their quality must be good.

AllfittingsandvalvesI complete from one company, because the combination of components from different manufacturers may cause leakage in the installation.
