Product Information

These systems are convenient when it comes to preventing spills, but they, unfortunately, are not the best when it comes to their capacity. You may find yourself refilling them often. Mark newly planted plants with a brightly colored golf tee, label, or flag to designate (and remind you) which plants need more frequent watering. This will also make the task easier for anyone watering for you while you're on vacation!

For garden areas such as annual beds, containers, hanging baskets, and vegetable gardens that require frequent watering, set up a watering system such as soaker hoses or drip irrigation systems. Assemble them in spring before plants get large. These systems can help save time and provide water directly to the root zone. It comes with simple, reliable cups that are fully automatic with no triggers or float tabs to worry about. Each cup is about three inches in diameter. Slow evaporation from the soil, by topping it with mulch, newspaper, and burlap. (See the picture below of a newly planted apple tree).

With this in mind, we set up a low-maintenance, low-water garden. Here are a few features of our low-water garden:

Tools for making drainage holes. Either a hammer and nail or a power drill with a 3/8 inch bit work perfectly.Many hanging baskets will need water every day, and late in the season, they may need water twice a day in open, sunny, or exposed locations! Despite its small size, we are fans of this can for its great aim and reach for all sizes of plants. The long spout makes it comfortable to reach higher hanging plants, plus we love the minimalist brushed metal finish. Although the handle wasn't distinctly ergonomic, it balanced well in our hands and still felt comfortable to hold. The price is quite high and caused us to deduct points for value: You could get other aesthetically pleasing watering cans for less. For that reason, this watering can might be best if you're looking for a good splurge item that also doubles as decor. It would also be a wonderful gift for someone with a large collection of houseplants. Consistent watering during the first year is the single most important task that will ensure long-term success when planting a tree Our primary goal is to provide you, our reader, with added value and to assist you with your everyday questions and purchasing decisions.
