This evening after the beautiful day of sun I wanted to water my garden with my cistern water and this with a simple watering can and its pear the problem is that we water on too large a surface of round shape, so a simple idea for save water:
stick a strip of sticky on each side of the pear leaving two to three strips of hole only so the spray is concentrated less loss and more profitability with the watering can
an overview of the watered lines we can see that there is little loss on the sides
here I hope others will find it interesting and use the idea, or share other ideas like

Good idea, the "simpler" are often the best ... but the tape doesn't have to last very long if?

Ah yeah, this is precision watering!
But, although very poor in agriculture / horticulture, I wonder if it's really good:
the roots down, it needs a humid "environment", right?
For the rest, I don't care a bit, I have a 9000 liter tank

With us we say that in Belgium it is useless to water, since ... it is always gray / rainy
And let the heating plug in in July when summer lasts 15 days
In my opinion it's a bit exaggerated

Unfortunately, the earth which is dry on the sides will quickly absorb the water by capillarity.
Tournai is not far from France, and there you can easily find the drip pipes there.
It's almost true

Hi willaupuis
Drought emergency
***
The most economical is to send the water directly underground!
***
= Zero evaporation
How?
Form a cone with a dibber,
create an additional hole at the head of the cone
spill a bottle of water.
The bottle will empty at the rate of absorption of the earth,
the water will not rise to the surface.
60L / month for ten "big" feet,
a little more in the heat wave.
notice.
I wait until the end of the wilted leaves before watering,
which allows not to drown the plant.
The other advantage of this system,
is that as long as the surface stays dry,
there will be no weeds, no slugs and
probably fewer bacteria
and whatnot.

This is why mulch and more mulching reduce evapotranspiration and keep the soil cool and "moist". On the other hand, watering at the foot should only be done at transplanting and between the plants then, otherwise the earthworms and other animalcules take refuge in damp soil and soon followed by moles, other efficient plowmen who will then cut the roots.
