Convenient watering hose
We are used to watering the beds with a regular rubber hose. Each time it needs to be unwound, rolled up, dragged to the other half of the site in order to wash the car. Now more durable and more convenient models have appeared in construction hypermarkets.
For example, the expandable hose takes up less space during storage and increases in length when water is supplied. When you turn off the water, it shrinks back to its original state without being pinched.
Price issue: from 1000 rubles.
So that watering is soft and does not damage young seedlings, it is worth picking up additional nozzles-pistols with a suitable mode for such hoses: sprinkling, thin or flat stream. And if you have a lawn, sprinkler hoses with different sectors and irrigation areas are better suited for it. You can install them and go about your business, and they themselves will regularly water the lawn grass.
Price issue: gun nozzle – from 80 rubles, sprinkler nozzle – from 70 rubles.
There are also hoses that do not have to be stored in the garage or closet, but can and should be left right in the garden. These are oozing hoses that are made of micro-porous material. They work like a drip irrigation system: they just need to be placed on the ground between the plants.
Price issue: from 540 rubles.
But if you want to arrange constant delicate watering for all plantings at once, then it is better to install a full-fledged system on the site – a set of drip tape, hoses and droppers.
Depending on the device of the beds, you will be able to determine for yourself what size the system will be and how many branches it will have. At the same time, pay attention to the irrigated area: it can be different for each system. And to ensure that the plants receive the required amount of moisture regularly and at the right time, a special watering timer will help.
Planting tools
The end of May and the beginning of June, when the earth has already warmed up, is the right time to transplant seedlings into the garden. In order for young shoots to take root, the soil must be well saturated with air, make sure that there are no small weeds in it, and dig holes of the required depth. With tools that are designed specifically for working with flower beds and seedling beds, it is more convenient to do this.
Prepare the ground will help hand cultivator… One side of it can loosen the soil and split the earth lumps, and the other side can dig out neat grooves.
Price issue: from 120 rubles.
Making planting holes for seedlings will be faster with pointed landing cone… It pierces the soil to the desired depth, which can be measured on the scale on the tool body.
Price issue: from 210 rubles.
