Just like humans, plants need water to survive, to produce seeds, flowers and new stems for our enjoyment and relaxation. Humans can survive 2-3 days without water; plants can survive only a little bit longer. Over the years we all have noticed changes in our gardens and dry conditions are creeping on us as we speak.Summer rainfall has either been too much or too little and has not quite found a good balance.

 This is why cutting-hedge.com has opened our new department to save our gardens.

Pots need watering every week and in summer every 3rd day, lawn every 3 to 4 days with a sprinkler and plants about the same as the lawn. With over watering (all in one go) you will find the soil in London does not absorb all the water as the soil is either clay or fine silt based and runs off. This happens in most cases on lawns and flowerbeds that have not be aerated, top dressed or mulched with horse manure in spring. 

The solution is shorter bursts of watering (around 3 to 4 times) of about 5 minutes during the day keeping moisture to its maximum growing condition. If you don’t have the time to walk around with a watering can or hose, I suggest you get one off our many types of irrigation systems available today. Not only will you notice a greener garden but also it will make sure you have a green healthy thick lawn right through the year.  

Designing your irrigation system is as individual as your garden, having plants that require more or less water, pots or just the lawn, we at cutting-hedge.com will make sure it perfectly matches your garden.
