Autumn is a time of careful preparation of the garden for the winter period. It is especially important to care for fruit trees and bushes - for their normal development, they need proper subwinter or moisture-charging watering. It improves yields next year, slows down soil freezing and increases winter hardiness of plants. But how to make watering the most efficient and the least resource-intensive? Together with experts Bosch Let's analyze the main questions on this topic.
It will be correct to start watering the garden immediately after the end of the leaf fall, as a rule, this is the month of October. Optimal for watering will be a day without precipitation with a temperature of about 10 ° C. Also, choose a time when it will not rain for at least a couple of days before watering. In this case, it will be easy to work with the soil and moisten it to a sufficient depth. In general, you can water the garden until the onset of persistent cold weather.
In autumn watering, the water norm is two to three times higher than in other seasons. Water must soak the entire dry layer, otherwise, with the arrival of cold weather, the soil will freeze. A logical question: what if autumn is already rainy? There is no point in hoping for autumn rains - they moisten only the top layer of the soil. Even frequent precipitation usually moistens the ground by no more than 30 centimeters. On average, in fruit trees, the soil should be moistened to a depth of about 1 meter, in shrubs - about half a meter.
However, be careful: each type and age of the tree has its own individual moisture rate. For example, for fruit-bearing stone fruit (cherry, apricot, plum) or pome fruit (apple, pear) trees, the norm is 80-100 liters per 1 square meter of the trunk circle. But berry bushes in autumn watering need to be provided with at least 25-40 liters of water per 1 square meter.
Using rainwater is a great way to be more economical and careful about both the resources of our planet and your garden. And given the rise in tariffs for water supply, it is also a way to optimize the family budget. In autumn, rainwater is more than enough, unlike hard tap water, it does not contain calcium, and it is easy to collect it from the roof in special barrels.
However, after a summer drought, first wait for the rain to wash the dust off the roof and then start collecting water. Barrels are best kept closed in a shady place. For convenient and quick watering of the garden with valuable rainwater, it is effective to use battery pumps.
When choosing gardening equipment, choose quality tools that will provide a well-functioning rainwater system without losing pressure or being tied to electricity. Pay attention to the manufacturer's warranty. Also remember that better manufacturing techniques provide operational reliability, lower noise levels and more corrosion resistance. Submersible battery pump Bosch GardenPump 18 Help save water and cut costs: Using rainwater can save up to 71 liters of drinking water per person per day.
The model is universal: you can attach the pump to any rainwater tank with an open top or protective covers (fasteners are already included). The tool weighs just over 2 kg and supports up to 30 minutes of battery life, enough to pump 1,000 liters of water. The pump kit also includes mounting systems for various types of tanks.
For maximum convenience, the Bosch GardenPump 18 has a timer function with three different watering times, suitable for both lawn sprayers and irrigation systems. The working radius is up to 25 meters, which is optimal for most gardens - a powerful spray jet will water even hard-to-reach places, clean paths or furniture with water.
First you need to install a battery control unit, which can be connected directly to the tank or attached to the wall. Then simply submerge the pump in the tank, attach a garden hose up to 25m and a spray gun. The pump is ready to water!
The cable length is 2.5 meters and is suitable for tanks up to 1.8 meters deep. When submerging the rainwater pump in the tank, make sure it is above the sediment at the bottom of the tank.
You do not have to think about unplanned drainage of water from the tank - when the pump stops, a check valve automatically directs air into the exhaust pipe, thereby eliminating any manifestation of the effect siphon.
Unlike the first cordless tools, the Bosch GardenPump 18 battery does not drain during storage and does not have a memory effect. The battery is ready for use even after long periods of inactivity. One battery fits the entire Bosch HomeMix range of over 30 home and garden tools, so that it can be easily rearranged to the tool you need in the winter, for example, a hacksaw, a saw or drill.
Also, until January 15, 2021, Bosch is running the Bosch HomeMix. One battery for your home and garden.
