Water is a precious resource. It becomes
even more precious for gardeners due to its inevitable necessity to help the
plants growing properly. Watering in the garden becomes easier with a hose
reel. It saves your time and energy. So, in this article, I am going to
describe how you can effectively
water your garden with a hose reel.
It is essential to know about how the hose
reel system works and its different components to use it effectively in
watering the garden. The system
generally starts with the opening of the valve. It is adjusted to the hose reel
to control the flow of water. Some of the parts of a hose reel system include-
- · Centre of the reel
- · The handle
- · The stand
- · The hose connector
- ·The valve
- ·The spring
- ·The reel
- ·The handle of the reel
- ·The wheel of the reel
At first, push the hose into the centre of
the claws to connect the hose with the hose reel. Then, you need to tighten the
clamping nut using a screwdriver. Then you are required to put the connector on
the other end of the feed hose. It will enable it to be connected to the garden
hose. After that, in order to join the connector with the feeder hose, you
should push the hose end into the middle of the fitting. You must be very
careful doing this otherwise the hose may get damaged.
Then you should tighten the clamping nut of
the fitting. You might use a tightening device to do it. You should look
carefully so that it doesn’t get out from the feeding hose. It must make a durable
connection with the garden hose.
Now that you are almost done with your hose
reel, you need to connect the one end of the feeder hose with the pumps or the
watering source. Then connect the other end with a garden hose.
Another end of the garden hose needs to be
connected with the sprayer or nozzle. Lastly, move the hose using the reel to
your desired place of the garden, open the valve and start watering your
garden. Additionally, the sprayer or the nozzle controls the flow of the water
for better performance.
You need to know about one more very
important thing to water your garden with a hose reel. You must know about the
installation of the hose reel. The standing hose reels does not require
installing while the wall mounted hose reel needs to be installed in a suitable
place. I would discuss it in another gardening article though.
As your hose reel is all set, you can start
watering your garden. But you should be careful while watering your garden with
a hose reel as an overflow of water might damage your loved plants. Also, all
the plants don’t require the same amount of watering and overflow of water
might kill the plants too. So, I would recommend you to consult a plant expert
to know how much watering your plant needs.
Gardening is a fun. It is a great source of
refreshing mind. It becomes even enjoyable with the use of a hose reel in
watering your garden.
