Summary
I had the opportunity to test the Gardena sprinkling and watering products in my garden.It is a small plot with fruit trees and shrubs, as well as flowers such as dahlias, hydrangeas, peonies and tulips. For the past four years, I have been growing vegetables in raised beds with herbs. I love radishes, beets, green beans and cucumbers. This is an ecological cultivation that does not harm both plants and beneficial insects. I use natural liquid manure made of nettle and celandine.
I care for plants and try to keep them hydrated. With the help of the AquaRoll M Easy trolley set with a garden hose, sprinkler lance and oscillating sprinkler, I tested the various possibilities offered by the manufacturer of Gardena products.
AquaRoll M Easy hose trolley - Gardena garden hose kit
The AquaRoll M Easy hose trolley, supplied with a garden hose, guarantees perfect stability. Even on uneven ground, placing it on not very carefully cut grass, thanks to the shape of the support, I did not have to worry that it would stand uncertainly.The cart does not move, even when the hose is pulled out, which for me is a huge plus. It's all thanks to the Kick & Stand technology.
When working and watering in the garden, the convenient hose guide, which is located on a solid metal frame above the drum, has proven its worth. It ensured that the hose was coiled evenly - I did not have to hold it with my hand! It was enough to just turn the crank on the drum.
The oblique connection of the hose on the inside of the roller prevented the hose from bending - this is a huge plus because of the maximum water flow. A special system to prevent water leaking after finishing work and winding the hose on the trolley proved to be perfect - I was not doused with water, as was the case with other trolleys.

Comfort spray lance
Another product is the Comfort sprinkler lance, which turned out to be a great solution for sprinkling plants and facilitating watering in hard-to-reach places. I also used it for the vegetable garden and inspection.
Different jet types allow you to fine-tune the water flow. We can choose between a sprinkler or a point jet - in the case of the latter, its power is so concentrated that we can use it to clean paths, tires or hard-to-reach places.
The ergonomic handle is very comfortable to hold and fits well in the hand. The impulse trigger with an integrated blockade of continuous operation, as well as the smooth regulation of the amount of water operated with one finger make the work of the lance extremely pleasant.The total length of 90 cm and a rotating sprinkler head allow for precise irrigation, which made it easier for me to irrigate the plants.

Oscillating sprinkler AquaZoom M
The last product, ideal for irrigating a large plot of land, especially the lawn, was the AquaZoom M oscillating sprinkler. The nozzles ensure even and very precise irrigation of the lawn from 9 to 250 m². Such irrigation also prevents the formation of puddles. Connecting was child's play - you only had to connect in a few steps and it's ready! Using the slider, I set the range (3-18 meters) and the watering method.
The possibility of watering part of the area - left or right - was a big surprise. The width of the sprinkler allows me to fit perfectly to the plot boundaries, without having to apologize to my neighbor for a stream of water entering his plot;) (I think he would not mind here).The width of the spray is from 3 to 14 meters.
The AquaZoom M water connection has a stainless metal filter to prevent dirt particles from entering the oscillating sprinkler. The filter is removable and easy to clean under running water. The nozzles are made of soft plastic, so to clean them, just wipe them with your fingers. This is a great convenience and an improvement.

Summary
Each of the Gardena brand products presented above deserves attention. If I had to choose one of them, it would certainly be a difficult choice. The trolley turned out to be irreplaceable in order to efficiently manage the garden hose and store it after finishing the work.The first time I wasn't drenched in water while rolling it!
The lance facilitated access to the nooks and crannies in the garden. The head could be set at any angle. This is an interesting and innovative solution that I was looking for for watering plants in the inspection. The specially concentrated spray was very useful for cleaning plastic garden chairs from dust and dirt residues.
The oscillating sprinkler allowed for the freedom to operate and to do other work in the garden while watering the lawn. It is also perfect for children on hot days - brick fun under a diffused stream of water! The regulation allowed for a better adjustment of the irrigated area to the plot boundaries.
In addition, all these products are frost-resistant, which means that even when left in the open at low temperatures, they will not break. This year's spring showed its harsh face, because in April and even in May there were frosts at night.After being left outside, I was able to enjoy the still functioning equipment.
