Strongly scorching sun in a cloudless sky and a prolonged rainless aura are the perfect weather for a holiday vacation. But such weather conditions mean that vegetation needs more water, depending on the species and the location where it grows.Plants protect themselves against overheating by transpiring water through the leaves.
In addition, water evaporates from the substrate. Busy and busy, we do not always have time to regularly provide plants with appropriate doses of water. That is why it is worth installing one of the many automatic irrigation systems available on the market.
They save time, energy and reduce water consumption, as well as properly adjust its amount to the needs of specific plants.Every garden should be equipped with a hose with an automatic reel.Easily wall-mounted and rotatable, allowing you to change the direction of watering.
Special connectors enable easy and quick connection of the hose to the tap, sprinkler, spray lance or sprayer. So that the hose does not twist, it should have the NTS system.Underground drip lines are best suited for lawn irrigation, as they deliver the required amount of moisture automatically and sparingly.
Sprinkling on call
Automatic sprinklers can be adjusted so precisely that virtually every place in the garden gains the right amount of necessary moisture. Sprinklers vary in purpose, design, and the size and shape of the surface to be irrigated. We can choose mainly: circular sprinklers (also rotating), used to irrigate circular areas, equipped with an irrigation range adjustment (up to several meters).On the other hand, oscillating sprinklers irrigate square or rectangular surfaces up to several hundred meters. Many of the models have electronic irrigation controllers.
Well water
Water from a home well, even if it is not potable, can be used for watering plants in the garden. They are hectoliters of water weekly, for which we do not have to pay. Never before has access to water been so easy and its quality so good.Even the infamous tap water has a quality comparable to that of table water sold in stores.And to think that until recently the furnishing of a house started with digging a well …
Despite the progress of civilization, the wells are still in use, and their role in the efficient functioning of the household is invaluable.The appearance of the wells and their size have certainly changed.The place of picturesque well cranes is now occupied by almost invisible shots of deep wells.These types of installations are the most expensive, but also the most reliable, because they reach deep aquifers lying several dozen meters underground.
Water from deep wells is safe to drink and can be used in the household for washing or bathing. However, it does not hurt to filter it additionally.Abyssinians work best on allotments.Such a well is made by driving a pipe with a filter into the ground or screwing it into the ground, usually to a depth not exceeding 10 m. Water is extracted from it by means of a manual column pump or an electric pump.
Dug wells, i.e. vertebral wells, are still very popular. Anyone can build such a well. This is what is most often found in old gardens (the oldest well of this type is located in Mogilno in the courtyard of a Benedictine monastery and dates back to the 11th century). As a standard, they are several meters deep, although in the past they were several dozen!
The quality of water in such a well leaves much to be desired, therefore it is used almost exclusively for watering plants or washing a car.Remember that, for safety reasons, the above-ground part of the dug well must be at least 1 m high and tightly covered.
