Water Smarter: The Best Tool for Your Needs

By hiebingadm

A lush yard and garden requires consistent watering—but that doesn’t mean you have to spend every weekend standing in front of your plants with a hose. Check out these smart sprinklers, hoses and accessories so you can cut down on the time it takes to water—and even save water. When you set up your own watering system the Betterday way, your lawn and garden will stay healthy and beautiful all season long.

• Target the Roots

Connect Gilmour’s Flat Soaker Hose to a programmable timer in the spring to give your plants a steady drip of water all season long without lifting a finger.

A soaker hose is easy to set up, even in tight spots: Just wind it around the base of your flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. In addition to making your gardening chores much easier, soaker hoses conserve water, because it goes straight to the roots rather than evaporating into the air. The hose’s flat design makes it a breeze to roll up and store between seasons.

• Focus Your Spray

When you need to water your grass but don’t want to waste water by sprinkling your sidewalk or the neighbor’s yard, use the Adjustable Pattern Master Circular Sprinkler.

Its unique design gives you the flexibility to easily match the sprinkler pattern to your yard’s unique shape. With coverage up to 5,800 square feet, or 86 feet in diameter, this sprinkler will water every inch of your irregularly shaped areas of grass in no time.

Just hook it up to the Flexogen Super Duty Hose and feel confident that your mature lawn will get its one-inch of water each week to stay lush and green.

• Grow New Grass

The key to getting grass seed to sprout and grow is to keep it evenly and gently watered every day. The sprinklers to use? The Adjustable Width and Length Pattern Master Rectangular Pattern Sprinkler has a unique, pliable spray tube for ultimate control when watering your delicate seedlings.

You’ll find it easy to adjust coverage from 8-feet-wide all the way to 59-feet-wide, making this the most versatile sprinkler you’ll ever own.
