How to make a sprayer for watering your garden with your own hands

Having planted everything you need on your site, everyone wants to grow a good harvest. In this case, the main concern is regular correct watering of plantings. The problem is usually that constantly coming to your favorite villa and watering the opportunity there. However, it is possible to find a solution to this problem.

What you need to know about watering?

Experienced gardeners recommend not to water plants with cold water from a water pipe or artesian well. This is very important for a good growth of cultures. Therefore, you will definitely need barrels or other containers. For the organization of irrigation there are quite rational ways. In general, a sprayer is used to irrigate the garden. You can make this tool yourself.

Irrigation

Water to plants is fed constantly, in small portions.

The essence of irrigation:

1. To supply water to the garden (in the garden, on the lawn, in the flower garden), place the pipeline.
2. Each layer is made with layers. Such a design is called a distribution line.
3. Special sprayers are installed next to the plants. According to the system, water is delivered in certain portions or continuously for several hours.

The sprinkler system has distinct advantages:

• Such a system, arranged by own hands, will cost inexpensively. You can use the material that we usually just throw away (for example, plastic bottles).
• Water moisturizes the leaves and stems of plants, which affects favorably on their condition.
• The air above the soil is moistened, which is very important in the heat.
• Water comes in small batches constantly. Therefore, regardless of the length of your absence on the site, the land will be moistened.

The sprayer for watering the garden with your own hands can be made of several types:

• From a plastic bottle.
• From plastic hoses.
• A solid system with elements of industrial manufacturing.

Watering with plastic bottles

One of the simplest - a sprayer for watering the garden from a plastic bottle. The most suitable volume of the bottle is 2-2.5 liters. The bottle should be rinsed well. Then make holes on its surface from one side (heated knitting needle or nail).

You can also use conventional plastic handles. Measure the diameter of the handle in the thinnest part and drill slightly smaller holes in the bottle. Optimal to make 5 holes in three rows. Then cut the knobs to a length of 5 cm and tightly insert into the holes.

An adapter is used to connect the hose to the bottle. On the cover, drill a hole along the diameter of the adapter. Using a silicone adhesive, fix the adapter in the lid. A bottle should be placed next to plants that need watering. Thus, for the garden of such structures will require several.

Hose System

You will need to purchase the necessary components:

• Hoses for the creation of highways along the entire length of the beds.
• Special sprayers.
• Locking and connecting fittings: plugs, cranes, tees.
• Water tank.
• Stand for a water tank.

We equip the system:

1. We distribute the hoses along beds and rows with plants. At the end of each we put a stub.
2. Using tees, we connect the hoses to the pipeline of the supply line, which is connected to the water tank.
3. The water tank itself should be installed at a height of at least 2 meters above the soil level (to create the desired pressure). The hoses are of a dark color. This will protect against the algae that clog the droppers.
4. Through the entire length of the pipes and hoses, we plan to place holes for holes that can be made by a heated awl or self-tapping screw. In these holes we insert the sprayers.

We made a sprayer for watering our own hands.

A solid irrigation system

On the site you can organize an automatic system for watering. The stores sell a variety of components and components, so that you can easily assemble the system yourself. When planning automatic irrigation, plant requirements must be taken into account. One is suitable for sprinkling, the other is for moistening only the roots.

For the system we need:

• Special sprayers (micropods). It is more convenient to use adjustable heads, there are also more complex elements - with foggers (convenient for greenhouses).
• A pipe that distributes water to the beds. One end of the pipe is connected to the water supply line. At the other end, a cap is put on.
• Start-connectors with clamping nut for connecting pipes, protection from water leaks.
• Fittings, stop valves, pressure compensators, tees, etc.
• To ensure long-term operation of the system, a qualitative filter can be installed at the outlet of the tank.

Before you can assemble a sprayer for watering your garden, it is recommended to draw a diagram of the location of the elements of the system in the area, accurately calculate the time of irrigation and the dosage of water. This will facilitate the installation work.

Watering the lawn

A very good option is the use of polypropylene pipes with finite water spray (spray) devices . A sprayer for watering a lawn can do so.

During the processing of the territory under the lawn, we establish the construction of the pipes so that the water sprinklers cover the whole of its area. The spray diameter depends on the pressure at the water supply and on the sprinkler design. Then at a depth of 40-50 cm instill the prepared system. The tips of the spray guns are removed to the surface and tied with polyethylene to prevent soil from entering the pipes.

If there is no possibility to dig on the lawn area, portable water sprinklers will help to irrigate the lawn. Another option is to use a sprayer for watering the "Mad Flower". Such an automatic watering system does not damage brittle buds, greens, soil and roots. It is mounted to an ordinary hose and can be installed anywhere. In addition, in work such a nebulizer is very beautiful.

You can also purchase a ready-to-use automatic watering system, and then collect it yourself on your garden.
