Let’s talk about those of cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, watermelons and melons. How to water them without spending too much time and energy ? Is there a solution that allows you to have an abundant harvest, healthy plants but which does not require continuous and manual watering?
The answer to this last question is yes. Here is the simplest system for watering cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, watermelons and melons. Get a 6 liter bottle and fill it with water .
Close it perfectly with the cap provided and turn it over . Using a drill, make 4 holes in the bottom of the water bowl making sure they are all located on different sides.
After completing this step, dig a groove in the soil large enough to bury at least 1/4 of your water bud . This is the technical term used by expert growers, the 6 liter bottle with the surrounding soil.
In this way you have created a very practical irrigation system : if you unscrew the cap, more or less intensively, the soil will start to get wet. Take your plants and bury them in furrows that you have dug near the bowl. Obviously, each variety will have to have its own sprinkler.
With this technique , which releases water at the intensity you want, you can irrigate your plants of cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, watermelons and melons only by unscrewing the cap, committing a minimum of effort and above all little time.
If you want an even more practical solution , you can think about installing a drip sprinkler . The system is the same as the water bowl with a particularity, however: to the perforated pipes to exhale the water and positioned above the furrow to wet the soil, you can connect an automatic timer that allows you to manage the water flow in total autonomy even from a distance.
