Effective Plant watering.
10 July 2007 Economical effective watering of plant roots. 10 July 2007 Effective watering of plant roots.
Watering using the city supply can be a hassle. Normal spraying methods usually only wets the surface plus the evaporation wastes water. The device depicted is a normal hand held spray nozzle available in all hardware stores. The spray device is removed and the pipe is reversed and attached to the hose. This makes holding the device relatively comfortable. The pipe is the inserted along a row of plants at probably one foot intervals and the water actually gets to the roots without waste of water. Using this method the time taken is less than spraying and more effective, since the water actually gets to the root area, and the foliage doesn't get wet. The hydraulic effect of the stream makes inserting the pipe into the ground effortless. |
