Product Information

The way I use my polytunnel creates a much bigger requirement for watering. I like to grow a range of heat loving plants like tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, cucumber, chillies, Inca berries, and tomatillos. If I grew these in beds inside a polytunnel, I would run the risk of building up soil born diseases, as I would be using the soil over and over to grow the same crops. To avoid this, I grow all my plants in big pots and containers. This allows me to recycle the soil every year, and use fresh compost for my plants. This is a smaller water pump, so it’s perfect for bird baths, fish tanks, small ponds and improving water circulation. In addition, it’s super easy to install and AISITIN includes detailed instructions for setting up your pump. Forks are indispensable for breaking up the soil, and for levelling soil that has been freshly dug. It is sometimes easier to dig with a fork than a spade, as the sharp points of a fork more easily penetrate hard ground. Rake

I am sharing the solution that works for me, and over the years it has saved me hundreds of hours of work. It offers two types of installation methods. Users can choose to either stake the solar panel in the ground or mount it to the wall. This allows you to place the solar panel in a location that gets more direct sunlight. Not only does this pump come with a brushless motor, but it also includes four different nozzles. Although some solar systems rely solely on only the rays of the sun to power their systems, more advanced solar-powered water pumps have batteries that store energy for use overnight or during cloudy weather.

Designed for greenhouses

This range of submersible pumps from Umbra Pompeare ideally suited for application in sumps & bilges, industry, leisure, processing, transfer and filling. These pumps are solely battery operated. All Baby Battery pumps come with 5m of PVC power cable which is easily fitted with crocodile clips. AEO is one of the most trusted brands for solar-powered water pumps. Ideal for fish ponds, hydroponics, and aquaponics, this 10W solar fountain pump has an excellent flow rate to power larger fountain projects. A twice daily watering task is a big time commitment, and it is hard for anyone but a full time gardener to commit to this. Sustaining this level of watering at home is difficult, but even more so when a gardener needs to travel to and from their allotment. Over the course of a whole summer, it is almost certain that a gardener will not be able to do this. Also, gardeners like to go away at the weekend, and on holiday, like everyone else. Even without having the full micro irrigation system set up at 100%, or a full network of rain barrels full to the brim ready to take over all the watering duties; what does work & run makes that section of the allotments much easier and hands free watering.

My two tips are to remember to store a wheelbarrow upside down so that rainwater does not collect inside and rust the body. My second tip is to buy a puncture proof solid tyre. This will avoid needing to pump up the tyre (a flat tyre requires much more effort to push), and the frustration of needing to fix a puncture. The challenge with this approach is that it creates a big demand for watering. Pots dry out faster than plants grown in the ground, and the crops I grow all mature in summer when the heat is highest. The combination of big plants growing in containers during the hottest days of the year means that watering may be needed twice daily. Infrequent and inconsistent watering at worst can kill the plant, but can also spoil the crop. The plants may set much less fruit, and the fruit they do produce may split or mold, or not swell to full size.Scissors are extremely useful for opening bags of compost, cutting twine, and tidying up crops before taking them home, for example removing the leaves off beetroot or carrots. I like to use biodegradable weed fabric at the allotment to reduce the amount of weeding I need to do, and scissors allow me to cut this to the required width and length. The Baby Battery series are low voltage, D.C pumps that are water pumps. They are especially popular in boat bilges. They are also frequently used as pumps for generic drainage and transfer. Whereas surface pumps are placed in line with the water level, submersible pumps must be placed completely underwater to operate optimally. Surface water pumps are typically used more for irrigation and small ponds, but submersible pumps are best suited for deep wells.
