Ihre Zierpflanzen, Sträucher, Obst und Gemüse brauchen Wasser, um zu wachsen. Doch wie gießt man sie richtig, wenn auf dem Balkon kein Wasserhahn ist? Tropfbewässerungssets, Wasserspeichertöpfe, intelligente Bewässerungssysteme oder sogar Bewässerungskegel sind Optionen, um dies zu erleichtern.
1. Drip irrigation kits
Automatic drip irrigation is the best solution to reduce water consumption while guaranteeing accurate, targeted irrigation of both pot plants and those planted out in the yard. Its defining feature is that it adapts to the specific needs of each of your plants by delivering just the amount of water that’s needed, where it’s needed. Most drip irrigation kits comprise a water control mechanism, irrigation unit, hose and integrated nozzles, but you can add a variety of accessories to suit your needs.
3. Connected watering
You can also make your life easier by choosing a smart watering system. Connected to a smartphone, it lets you keep an eye on your plants and take care of them at any time, from wherever you happen to be. With these systems, controlling watering cycles in real time, and deciding what needs watering and where, is a breeze!
5. An upturned bottle of water
Looking for a low-cost solution? A simple bottle of water can work just as effectively, and this makeshift system is very easy to set up. Take a plastic bottle and punch some small holes in the cap with a nail and hammer; then cut off the bottom of the bottle to allow a continuous flow of water.
