13 JULY 2019 AMATEUR GARDENING 17GARDENA can help you to keep your crops watered
and your lawn nicely trim while you’re relaxing far awayP
REPARING for your Summer
holidays can be a little
overwhelming at times,
with endless lists and
arrangements to ensure your pets
and house are taken care of while you
are away. But who cares for your
plants? Thanks to GARDENA’s
innovative microdrip system, your
garden will look as healthy and
beautiful as it did the day you jetted off.
This easy-to-install automatic irrigation
system will take care of all your garden’s
watering needs from hedges, to planted
borders, to the patio full of potted plants.
The patented “Quick & Easy” Pipe
connection technology allows for fast
assembly of the system and is easy to
loosen if required. Simply lay
the supply pipe as
required in your garden,and connect the adjustable drip heads at
the root area of your plants. For planted
borders or vegetable beds, fl exible spray
nozzles ensure effi cient watering and
root watering. Using the irrigation lines for
your hedges not only ensures healthy
plants, but you are also using water
responsibly. The GARDENA microdrip
system ensures every drop counts, using
precisely the right amount of water
directly to the root, and saves up to 70%
water when compared to conventional
watering methods.
For more control over your garden’s
watering needs, the system can be used
with a GARDENA Water control, which
allows programming of specifi c
watering schedules, depending on
the needs of your plants. The range
of water controls off er diff erent
programming schedules, from the basic
Manual Tap timer which allows you to setGarden care while
you’re on holiday
ADVERTISING FEATUREone watering cycle to the Master Water
Control which can operate up to six
independent watering schedules of
diff erent times and days. All GARDENA
Water controls come with “Safe-stop”
technology with guarantees 100% safe
closing. This means that if the battery level
is too low, the water control will not allow
the watering schedule to take place,
thereby ensuring you will never come
back to a completely fl ooded garden.
But unfortunately we cannot predict the
weather – so if the weather back home is
not as sunny as your holiday destination is,
you may not want to be watering your
garden if it has been raining. Why not
install a soil moisture sensor, which will
manage the watering cycle depending on
weather and override a planned schedule
if it is not needed.
And if the thought of coming back to
overgrown lawn is stressing you out, then
the GARDENA Sileno City robotic
lawnmower is the solution. Perfect for
gardens up to 500m2, the Sileno City will
maintain a carpet-like lawn at the touch of
a button. The SensorCut system cuts
evenly and cleanly in all directions, and
with mulch function, the fi ne cut grass tips
are a natural fertilizer and maintain a
healthy lawn right down to the root area.
Best of all, the smart version is connected
to the GARDENA smart system app which
allows you full control over your garden no
matter where in the world you are.
So this Summer, relax and enjoy your
holidays and rest assured your garden is
being well looked after.How to find our more
