With summer coming on, you want to be sure your garden gets adequate water.  This is especially true if you live in an area with dry climate or are concerned about water conservation.  Or maybe you’re trying to grow prize squash for the county fair and don’t want the plants to wilt or die while you’re on vacation.  Gardener’s Supply Company has a plant watering solution for you.

Precision Drip Spikes from Gardener’s Supply let you water automatically.  That means you don’t have to think about watering your plants every day, which is especially helpful if you’ll be away for a few days.  You don’t want to over water your plants, then let them dry out.  Consistent watering is important for healthy plants.  Precision Drip Spikes insure consistent and thorough watering.

            A set of Precision Drip Spikes has a drip reservoir that offers precise control of watering.  With 11 dial-in settings you can release 1/2 ounce to 75 ounces of water a day.   Each spike holds a standard 1- or 2-liter plastic bottle, which you’ll need to provide, since bottles aren’t included.

            You get 4 Precision Drip Spikes in a set, and Gardener’s Supply offers a reduced price when you buy more than one set.  Try a set or two on a few of your plants and see what happens.  Experiment a little.  For example, you might want to try liquid fertilizer a time or two, rather than water only.  Also, these spikes could be just what you need if you’re growing in raised beds or have limited space.

            To order your Precision Drip Spikes, simply click on the picture above and you’ll be taken to the page on the Gardener’s Supply site and add the spikes to your shopping basket.

            I’d be interested in hearing from you when you put your spikes to use in your survival garden.
