and damage.

that the hose is always rolled up evenly

During the hot months, regular watering is
necessary to keep plants healthy. This can
become bothersome if you are irrigating
manually. However, water controls make
it very easy to manage. More importantly,
the best time to water plants is either early
morning or late evening. This is the ideal
time, as evaporation levels are at their lowest.
GARDENA Water Control takes care of watering
automatically and the wide range of controls
ensures that there is a suitable model for
every watering requirement. Water Controls
connect directly onto the tap and control the
supply of water to mobile sprinklers and drip-
system irrigation.
