Give Your Business a Boost this Summer

If your commercial property lacks curb appeal, then summer floral hanging baskets are a simple way to make a bold statement and enhance your pub, restaurant, hotel or office workplace.

A colourful, inviting and well maintained display of plants and flowers could make the difference between customers walking in or simply walking by. However, the main issue with hanging baskets is that they dry outquickly so need to be kept watered regularly, particularly on hot days.

The perfect solution that matches requirement to weather conditions is a solar powered automatic watering system like the Irrigatia kit which naturally delivers to plants their liquid needs when they most need them.

Unlike electronic timer systems that deliver water at a set time, the Irrigatia system automatically judges their needs and waters every three hours. The longer the daylight hours and the greater the light intensity in a day the more the system waters. The volume of water can be manually adjusted to suit individual watering needs and the kit can water up to 5m in height.

Irrigatia uses up to 90% less water than a hose or sprinkler and because the drip-feeding point is at the soil level, there is no risk of scorching or burning foliage. The water comes direct from a nearby water butt and, if these are not available, a reservoir can be purchased to connect to a tap. Liquid feed can also be added to the watering process.
