When planning to be away from your garden, ensure that it is watered without missing any essentials. Set up a timer and soaker hose if you don’t have a sprinkler or drip system. The timer should attach to the greenhouse frame or shelves, and the pressure regulator should be installed to prevent emitters from clogging. Attach the soaker hose to your garden hose or faucet.
Drip irrigation systems are relatively easy to use, with Micro Drippers or Stream Drippers for single pot watering, Micro Sprays and Micro Sprinklers for watering plants from overhead, and Soaker Hose and Soaker Hose for automatic watering. A simple drip irrigation hose is the most convenient and effective system.
When watering plants, it is important to consider the moisture content of the plants. Plants like water but don’t want to be wet, so excessive moisture in the plants can lead to issues. Hose hangers are the simplest hose management tool to install, and hose trolleys allow the hose to be stretched out above obstructions on the floor.
Ensure that the mainline carries water into the greenhouse is sunk underground at least 4 feet below the frost line to ensure the water is not dripped into the house. If you prefer not to drill into your house, use a free-standing hose holder a few feet away. Run the main hose, attaching it to the greenhouse frame or shelves and making connector junctions as necessary.
In summary, proper watering of your greenhouse is crucial for its growth and health. Whether using a sprinkler or drip system, a timer, or a free-standing hose holder, ensure that your plants receive the necessary watering.
