  • Secure raised bed on a slope with gabions and honeycomb fleece

    Several green plants grow in a gravel garden with purple flower spikes. Some are surrounded by black landscaping fabric and gray rocks arranged in wire mesh grids, forming a modern raised bed. A stone wall completes the background. www.commaik.de

    The raised bed between my two gabion walls is to be redesigned. In future, the plants will be watered automatically. I install an automatic irrigation system for this purpose. This time the whole thing is to be realized with a drip hose.

    The raised bed between my two gabion walls is to be redesigned. In future, the plants will be watered automatically. I install an automatic irrigation system for this purpose. This time the whole thing is to be realized with a drip hose. Solenoid valves from Hunter ensure automatic control of irrigation via my irrigation computer. The water supply for the automatic irrigation system is via a 25 mm PE pipe.

  • Build your own automatic hedge watering system

    Automatische Heckenbewaesserung selber bauen Webseite a - Build your own automatic hedge watering system

    A good 10 years ago, I planted a hedge on the south side of our property, which consisted of around 200 Thuja Smaragd plants. These were carefully placed in the ground along a guideline. The plants I bought from a nursery were barely taller than 20 cm, including the roots. Watering the hedge took a lot of time in the summer, which prompted me to look for a solution to optimize this process.
