Whether or not your area has been subject to a hose pipe ban in recent years, we have seen frequent prolonged periods of warm, dry weather. Many areas of the UK were subject to hose pipe bans in 2022, making it more important than ever to conserve our water usage.

As a pioneer of innovative, water-conserving irrigation solutions, GARDENA is committed to making very drop count. And through every innovative and efficient piece of equipment it designs, it’s clear to see its passion for helping to create a greener, brighter future.

GARDENA Micro-Drip-System

GARDENA’s new and improved range of MicroDrip systems are perfect for potted plants, vegetable beds and plant rows. Not only are they incredibly easy to set up yourself, but thanks to the clever Micro Irrigation method, they can also save up to 70% of water consumption compared to standard methods.

Not only does the GARDENA Micro-Drip System save water, it penetrates the soil right down to the roots, where plants need it most. This leaves the stems, flowers and leaves free from excess moisture, which in turn makes them less susceptible to disease.

The extra mile

There are other simple steps you can take this summer to make every drop of water count. Watering early in the morning is the optimal time to avoid any excess evaporation and help ensure your garden stays hydrated throughout the day. If early mornings aren’t practical, however, consider investing in a GARDENA Water Control, so you can set your own water-efficient schedule to do the job for you.

Harvested rain from a water butt and grey water, such as from your shower or washing up, can be a great way to re-use and save water. With the GARDENA Battery Rainwater pump, you can submerge the pump into your water barrel or butt, and connect it to a hose, sprinkler, or MicroDrip system to use the water you’ve collected.
