At last , a time clock that woks for watering hanging baskets , bonsai benches and the veg & flower gardens
Reliable long , service life , simple to use , numerous different timings from once a day through to once a week .
Powered by readily obtainable C cell batteries . A good set of quality batteries will last about 9 months .
Taking the batteries out before first frost helps keep the clock in tiptop condition .
I've been using a set of five of these clocks every year for the last 11 years . Yes folks they do eventually die , because I engrave my name post code & the date put into use I can tell you none hve failed in under four years .. The oldest is nine years old .
I use one of our clocks for summer every one is set for 2 min twice a day on adjustable spray mist watering heads to .... six hanging baskets on the same half inch supply as 14 flowering geranium tubs . One to water 120 potted bonsai trees with 24 adjustable spray heads , one to water up to 23 adjustable misting heads in the glass house ,one to spray mist with adjustable heads some 250 square feet of veg bed & one to spray mist just over 90 square feet sq ft of flower beds .
They use very little water at 2x2 min per 24 hours when the heads are turned to a low useful misting spray , I'd guess 20 or so litres per day putting the water in exactly the right spot .. I just can't praise them enough .
Previous to discovering these Hozelock clocks and the adjustable micro spray heads I'd spent hundreds of pounds trying to get something that actually worked well on mains supply pressure & not blow the water lines apart or leak and kill the time clock .
