Why you need a high-quality hosepipe before winter starts
As winter approaches in Zimbabwe, water scarcity becomes a major concern. Gardeners and homeowners face significant obstacles due to the lack of rain and dry boreholes. To address these challenges, you should invest in a high-quality hosepipe before winter arrives.
Cutting Edge is Zimbabwe’s supplier of GARDENA products, including world-class hosepipes that can withstand the rigours of the local climate. We provide a wide range of hoses that vary in length and diameter, giving you the ideal solution for meeting winter’s special demands.
The need for hosepipe during winter in Zimbabwe
Winter brings particular challenges; plants may suffer from water scarcity due to insufficient rainfall and drying boreholes. Without adequate care, gardens can become barren – fading away rather than blossoming. However, with the correct gardening equipment and irrigation procedures, it is possible to keep a beautiful and flourishing garden throughout the winter.
Constant irrigation and more intensive care are required during this season. Plants, particularly those in pots, require consistent hydration to survive in cold weather. This is where a high-quality hosepipe comes in. Investing in a dependable hosepipe can ensure effective watering and protection for your garden throughout the winter.
The advantages of high-quality hosepipes
Using a high-quality hosepipe provides several benefits, making it an excellent investment for your garden. One of the key advantages is durability. Cheaper, lower-quality versions are not designed to last very long. GARDENA hosepipes, on the other hand, are built to survive harsh weather conditions and exposure to UV rays from the sun.
As a result, these hoses come with a 20-year guarantee – now that’s value for your money. GARDENA hosepipes exceed expectations in terms of quality and efficiency, guaranteeing durability and peace of mind. These hoses have also been tested to withstand pressures of up to 30 bar, which greatly exceeds the average needs of residential use.
Preparing your hosepipe for winter
To get the most out of your hosepipe and extend its life, you need to carefully prepare it for the winter season. Follow these easy actions to safeguard your investment:
- Drain the hosepipe – When storing your hose while it’s not in use, completely drain the water to prevent standing water from damaging the inside.
- Detach and store accessories – Remove any nozzles, sprinklers, or other attachments from the hosepipe and store them separately. This helps prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
- Store in a dry location – During the summer, find a secure, dry location to store your hosepipe. Keeping it away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight helps maintain its integrity.
- Avoid driving over the hosepipe – While you’re watering your garden in winter, avoid crossing the hose over driveways. If this cannot be done, do not drive over the hose as this could puncture the external layers and make a hole. Always move the hose out of the way before driving.
Choosing the right hosepipe for your garden
Choosing the correct hosepipe for your needs is critical to achieving peak performance and ease of irrigation. Consider the following variables when making your decision:
- Length – Calculate the length of hosepipe you require based on the size of your yard or outdoor space. GARDENA hose pipes are available in a variety of lengths to meet different purposes, from 25m to 100m.
- Material – Choose hoses made of high-quality materials such as reinforced PVC or rubber. These materials have greater resilience and are less likely to kink or crack.
- Compatibility – Make sure the hosepipe you choose is compatible with the accessories you plan to use, such as sprinklers or nozzles. GARDENA hose pipes are adaptable and work with a variety of accessories. Always check the diameter of your hose and find the attachments that match.
A high-quality hosepipe is a vital tool for any Zimbabwean gardener or homeowner, especially during winter. With the issues of water scarcity and dry boreholes, it is more necessary than ever to invest in a reliable and long-lasting hosepipe.
