So obviously, I love to garden and grow tons of edibles each year but because of this, I tend to keep myself very busy throughout the summer. Every plant is different and requires different kinds of attention. When you grow as much as I do, it's hard to keep track of the specific care instructions for each type of plant. It never fails, I forget to water certain plants or over water others and everything goes down hill from there. They each slowly begin to die or just don't end up the same for the rest of the season.
Quite a long time ago, my father purchased a self watering drip system for my mom and all her hanging baskets of flowers. It was something she needed because of the hours it was taking her to water them daily on her own. It was then, that I first became interested in systems like this. However, through my own research as well as trial and error, I hadn't found a system that really proved to work well for me. Plus, to be honest, the drip irrigation my mother used failed miserably at keeping her plants alive as well!
When I discovered the brand Mister Landscaper, I knew my watering structure was about to change. Mister Landscaper is "motivated by the desire to give homeowners the ability to water their landscapes and gardens just like professional growers irrigate their nurseries and groves." Made in the U.S., Mister Landscaper provides a variety of drip irrigation kits and supplies.
This kit comes with everything you need to start your own drip irrigation system like a professional! 50' of tubing connects from your outside water source to 5 micro-spray stakes around your yard. From each stake you can adjust from half circle spraying to full 180° as well as a variety of spray patterns. You can also adjust spray distances and intensity!
Mister Landscaper has thought of every possibility for every gardener's needs all in one kit. Plus if this isn't what you are looking for they have kits geared towards potted plants and vegetable gardens. There is even a kit for the bird lover's ultimate bird bath! I cannot begin to tell you how impressed with how much this kit came with as well as how well it is working for my small scale garden of potted plants temporarily until we move! This has both lessened the stress I have in caring for my plants several times a day but also helped specify exactly how each individual plant is watered!
Available to purchase/Cost: $31.97 Micro-Sprinkler Landscape and Shrub Kit

This is a U.S. proudly made product which has our environment in mind constantly! I am proud to use this myself and excited to expand my kit once I move as well!

*Read my Disclosure
We have a flower bed in the front of our house that we planted last year. Before it had pine shrubs and other shrubs that had thorns and just looked terrible. We tore out everything and tilled it all up. We bought about 15-20 perennials of different kinds that looked good and planted them. I had a long sprinkler hose setup in it, but a micro-sprinkler system like this would work much better. We put down weed barrier, but there are a lot of these heavy stalks coming back up through the weed barrier this year. I'm not sure what it is but we might have to take the sawzall and cut the roots out and re do the weed barrier.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year with a garden, and I'm looking forward to planting tomatoes - homegrown tomatoes are the best!
ReplyDeleteI most enjoy growing fresh cooking herbs. My family and I grow garden vegetables, as well. I never have had a green thumb with flowers, but I may try to grow some this year anyway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this and use it in my butterfly garden
ReplyDeleteI would use this in my garden. It is a little far from the house so have a sprinkler system will make it easier than dragging my hose out to the garden. I had to buy the longest hose possible last year.
ReplyDeleteI love growing EVERYTHING. If you make me choose just one, I would go with Tomatoes. I think I like those because I love them :) They are a wonderful addition to any (well maybe not chocolate) recipe. In addition, I like to can, and tomatoes can be canned in so many forms.
ReplyDeleteI love growing flowers of all kinds, but I also grow vegetables. I grow onions, garlic, cucumbers, tomatoes and some herbs.
ReplyDeleteflowers and more flowers
ReplyDeleteI have two raised beds for vegetables, an herb garden and a spot for blueberries and strawberries. I also have flowerbeds around all four sides of the house. This would be perfect for the flowerbed in the front of the house, simply because it's the furthest from the hose and I never feel like i'm watering it as well as I should.
ReplyDeleteI love growing herbs like basil, parsley, oregano and I also try to grow some tomatoes
ReplyDeleteI love to grow cucumbers and tomatoes
ReplyDeleteI would probably try this with some strawberry plants
ReplyDeleteI would use this on my wife's flower beds. She has a green thumb and is growing all kinds of flowers on our lawn.
ReplyDeleteI would use it in my garden bed.
