Are you looking for perfect gifts for gardeners? Do you want something that is more practical or something unique.
Unless your friend has a full time gardener these are things they may be interested in.
Gardeners are always looking for items that will enhance their garden landscape, like fountains, statues, trellises and other decorative items that add aesthetic appeal.
Sometimes they are looking for tools that can help reduce some of the hard work necessary to keep things growing and looking good, like power digging tools, garden beds designed to water automatically and fertilize, mulching and soil additives to reduce weed growth and automatic sprinklers and watering systems.
Time saving devices like above may also include other watering and fertilizing time release mechanisms that keep on working 24/7 while they sit back on their porch sipping a cold drink.
There are many items out there to choose from.
One item out there is a new unique tool called Watering Rocks that we would like to tell you about here and hope you will consider. Watering Rocks have all 3 attributes. They enhance the landscape with their color, realism, and shape. Watering Rocks water 24/7 for up to 4 days relieving some daily watering work. Lastly, they save time from not having to drag the hose out every day. Any gardener would love the ability to water only 2 times a week.
Your Ideal Gifts for Gardeners are here.
Watering Rocks water when you can’t because of your busy schedule or vacation and where you can’t.
Watering Rock Portable Automatic Irrigation Drip System. This sturdy durable plastic(no BPA) rock comes in decorative White Granite and Sandstone colors. They are lightweight( 4lbs empty) and measure 12” high, 14” deep and 16” wide. Believe or not that size holds 5 gallons of water and if you want added nutrients.
That 5 gallons will water for 2-3 days and provide plenty of moisture for your plants as it slowly drips water 24/7, day and night . That saves you 3-4 days of watering.
The system includes 15 feet of 1/4” drip line to carry the water, six -1/4” adjustable drippers to control the amount of drip you want to the area you want, five – 1/4” Tbarbs to make branches off the line to the areas you want to water, and one threaded 1/4” barb to screw into the threaded hole on the bottom back of the rock for the main line hook up. Sounds complicated but is not once you see how the components work together to design the watering configuration you desire. Assembly usually takes maybe a half hour and we are always available to assist by email or website.
We like to use our ATV to load rocks either on the ATV when we only have 1 or 2 or in the wagon we pull behind for multiple rocks. They are durable and handle well as we transport them to the house water hose, fill them up, add any fertilize we want and replace. The rocks fill up quickly with a hose that fits in the 1” hole on the top back side of the rock. You can also take water to the rock and fill it easily if you have a 2 gallon watering can with the spray nozzle removed, leaving the 1” nozzle head that fits into the watering rock fill hole.
Do you want water for more than 2-3 days?
Use one Watering Rock to fill the other rock and double the watering time. Another to triple watering times. We thought about manufacturing a 25 gallon rock, and may someday, but felt the 5 gallon was the best size to start with and offers the most flexibility for size and configuration.
These rocks have proven themselves many times and there are some excellent testimonials and reviews out there to confirm that they do work and do work well. The rocks use pressure from volume in the rock and gravity to facilitate the water flow which makes them completely portable and require no electric. Just make sure the drip lines are flat to downward sloping. If you need your water to go vertical see another product Hanging Basket Automatic Portable Irrigation Drip Systems( includes an electric pump).
These rocks are offered by many vendors on Amazon, Ebay, Walmart.com and other websites. You can visit www.watering-rocks for a complete list of where to buy, pictures, videos, helpful hints and reviews. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns about our time saving Watering Rocks.
With this tool you now will have the freedom to plant anywhere in your yard. When you are not watering plants you can use a Watering Rock to fill animal water bowls, bird baths, Christmas tress, or anything that needs to have water consistently added.
Maybe, this is that unique gift for that special gardener you know.
