Once you start your plant parent or gardening journey, there’s no going back. And in order to take care of these bad boys, we need the right gardening equipment, watering equipment the most. So, keep reading to find out all the watering tools you might need - from pipes and nozzles to sprinklers and watering cans.
7 Types Of Basic Watering Equipments You Need For Your Plants & Garden
Watering Can
Watering cans are perfect for small gardens or plants around the house or in your balcony. There are just so many available in the market, you can choose to get the regular plastic one like this to cover your watering needs in one go as it holds 5 Liters of water, the downside to that, however is how heavy it gets. Another can that holds a good capacity and looks super aesthetic too is this one, you can even get it in a smaller size and different colours. I also like this white watering can from IKEA for having 2 handles - one at the top when you have to carry it and one on the side when you’re watering.
Pipe or Garden Hose
If you plan to directly water through a water source you need to have a pipe. This one is 15 meters long, 0.5 inch wide, trusted among amazon users and even comes with a hose connector which makes it super easy to use. Another option would be this braided water hose pipe that’s 10 meters long and comes with an 8 Mode Sprayer Nozzle.
