Made my wife bottle watering strawberries using a patent from the Internet: grateful for a month
Hello everyone! I often poke around on the Yandex. Patents - a lot of useful homemade products for a garden and a summer residence, repair and construction are laid out there. At the same time, there are many devices that are very easy to make with your own hands.
One of these homemade products - plant bottle watering system, the author of the patent is Vladimir Vladimirovich... Ilyushin, who is interested, I will give the patent number in the comments to the article.
The author of the homemade product claims that with such watering, the yield of strawberries and garden strawberries increases, this is what bribed us.
According to the patent documentation, the scheme looks complicated:
To heighten the effect, I carefully considered and finalized the irrigation scheme. I hope the author is not mad at me.
Added a drainage element to the bottom of the structure - foam roll and improved the connection of the two bottles.
If the house does not have foam rubber, it can be easily replaced with an ordinary dishwashing sponge.
How it works?
When we water the plant "just like that", with a hose, the earth is covered with a crust. The crust blocks the access of oxygen to the soil, and the crust also has to be loosened - it's a lot of work.
A bottle buried in the ground with a cut-off bottom allows water to be delivered precisely to the main root of the plant. In this case, a crust does not form (advantage no. 1), and the main root grows, and not the superficial roots, which means that strawberries will not fill the entire garden with itself. And it will not need to be thinned out (advantage # 2).
Foam roll in my design is needed in order to:
- the soil did not clog the cavity of the bottle;
- the soil itself sucked in moisture when it was not enough;
Thanks to my homemade product, we have forgotten what loosening and thinning of strawberries is, and this year we hope for a high harvest.
What do you say, friends? I look forward to your comments!
