What a summer resident needs - top 10 devices that have recently appeared on the market
Content:
In recent years, a real revolution has taken place in the market for gardening products. If earlier summer residents could only dream of such things as a portable folding walkway or a water bag, now they can be bought for relatively little money. However, these are not the only items that can make a gardener’s life easier. We present the TOP 10 products that will be useful to every owner of a personal plot.
Portable Folding Runner
A convenient option for those who do not want or do not have the opportunity to build permanent paths.
- Wooden decorative path
Sold already assembled. As a rule, it is made from larch with a special protective coating - such wood is not subject to rotting, so the path can be left outside in any weather. When buying such a product, take a closer look at the top side of the boards - it should be corrugated (otherwise, after rain or ice, you can slip and fall). Wooden paths are only suitable for pedestrian areas.
- Plastic universal track
To assemble a path and even an entire carpet from modular tiles, it will take no more than 5 minutes. Plastic squares are attached to each other with latches. The finished coating is not afraid of snow, frost, or rain; You can walk and ride a bicycle along it, and transport small loads. By the way, the patterns on the surface of the tiles are not just decoration; they also prevent the soles from slipping in wet weather.
- Plastic track for wheelbarrows
This portable folding walkway is designed for gardening and gardening work. To roll a loaded wheelbarrow on grass or dirt, you need to put in a lot of effort, but using such a track makes the process much easier and faster. The product can withstand heavy loads, has high impact resistance, and is not afraid of moisture and sunlight. Using special brackets, you can connect several tracks together.
Elegant hose holder
A watering hose thrown on the ground constantly creates inconvenience - it takes up space, crushes the grass on the lawn, and in the end, you may not notice it and stumble. To avoid such situations, an elegant hose holder was invented - it looks more like a decorative element than a household device. Most often, such products are made from metal and then coated with protective varnishes and paints.
Installation of the holder is extremely simple - a peg-stand is driven into the ground with a few blows of a hammer.
Unusual ripper
A replacement for the usual garden tools - a shovel and a hoe.
- Miracle shovel
There are many modifications of the miracle shovel - “Plowman”, “Mole”, “Vakula”. But despite the fact that their design is different, the principle of operation remains unchanged - the muscular strength of the arms and legs is used to loosen the earth. At the same time, there is no load on the back, which is very convenient for older people and those who have problems with the spine. With such a miracle shovel you can dig up an area of several hundred square meters without much effort.
- Gloves with claws
This unusual ripper began to rapidly conquer the market several years ago. And for good reason - rubber gloves with removable claw attachments allow you to quickly make holes when planting seedlings, loosen the soil, dig up root crops and pull out weeds. There is no need to carry or carry heavy tools.
High altitude lopper
There are two types - garden shears with telescopic handles (extendable up to 1 m) or high-altitude loppers with a telescopic handle (length adjustable up to 4 m). The second option, in addition to the pruning shears, is equipped with a knife saw. The control of such a lopper is, as a rule, rod-shaped - to make a cut, you need to pull the rope.
Greenhouse tent
The tent greenhouse, popularly called a greenhouse tent, was invented back in Soviet times, but for some reason was not popular. In recent years, greenhouse manufacturers have remembered it and brought it back to the market. True, the price of such products is steep - a medium-sized greenhouse will cost 20-30 thousand rubles. The tent greenhouse is assembled and disassembled in the same way as a regular tent.
Berry picking apron
An apron for picking berries saves time and effort - you don’t need to put each berry in a basket or bucket, you can work with both hands at once. Suitable for both children and adults.
Garden mat
Standing on your knees or sitting is sometimes more convenient to weed beds, plant plants or harvest crops. One problem is that the soil stains clothes, and after rain or watering it becomes wet and cold. In this case, a rubber mat for gardening will come in handy.
Rope holder
Not everyone has the opportunity to set aside a separate place for drying clothes. We have to pull ropes between the trees, but after this the bark on the branches deteriorates and the trees get sick. It is also inconvenient to move around the garden. There is a way out of the situation - this is a special rope holder that works on the principle of an umbrella. When you need to dry clothes or linen, the holder unfolds and then turns back into a compact “column.”
Apron for collecting leaves
When weeding, you have to throw weeds on the ground and then come back to collect them in a heap. Using a special apron, you can shorten this process - just put unnecessary plants in a bag attached to your belt, and then take them to a designated place. The apron is also suitable for collecting fallen leaves and fruits. There is a zipper at the bottom of the bag - thanks to this, there is no need to waste time transferring the contents manually, you can simply pour it out.
Water Carrying Bag
Not every dacha plot has its own water supply; often you have to draw water from a public tap somewhere on the next street. Carrying it in buckets is inconvenient - your hands get tired, half of the contents spill out onto the road. It is much easier to use special bags for transporting water. They are made of waterproof material and come in different capacities - from 6 liters. They can be attached to a bicycle or placed on a wheelbarrow.
Some of the listed products can be bought in gardening stores, others are still rare in our market - they have to be ordered on Aliexpress or eBay. But if you don’t want to wait a long time for a package and overpay for postal services, try making similar items yourself from scrap materials - it’s not as difficult as it seems at first glance.
