When it
comes to gardening tools only the best will do, there is nothing worse than a
fork bending or a hose kinking or a fitting blowing off and soaking you.
Usually a
good product will save you money in the long run as they last for a long time.
I have made
mistakes in the past buying cheap stuff and living to regret it.
One thing I
have never scrimped on are garden hoses, I hate hoses that kink and burst,
that’s why I have for the past 20 years only bought Gardena products, and yes I
am still using them today.
One of the
hoses I am using at the moment is a ‘super-flex kink resistant 6, which I think
would be at the top of the Gardena range, it’s a great hose and well worth a
few extra dollars.
The same
applies for hose fittings, when I go to our local hardware store I do not look
anywhere else but Gardena and they are trouble free and do not come off the
hose unlike some other brands.
In some
places in our garden I need two hose outlets and fortunately Gardena make a
conversion that fits onto your tap and gives you two outlets, believe me it’s
very handy.
Often when
watering our garden I wonder just how much water am I using? Well Gardena have
another great product which fits between your hose and spray gun (Gardena of
course)
that tells you exactly how much water you are using, it’s called a
‘water smart flow meter’ it shows total per day, per watering cycle and even
per season. I must admit I received a shock after watering the garden for a
day; it made me a little more careful in my water consumption.
I also have
an auto watering system and some sprinklers that I will review later; I have no
doubt that they will be the highest quality.
I forgot to
mention that all Gardena products are made in Europe and come with a guarantee,
for instance the hose has a 30 year guarantee which is pretty awesome to think my
hose will last me until I am 99 years old.
Thanks Ian.
