GARDENA can help you to keep your crops watered

and your lawn nicely trim while you’re relaxing far away

P

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 set

Garden care while

you’re on holiday

ADVERTISING FEATURE

one 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.
