The watering spike from St Helens Home Garden ensures that your plants receive regular water over a period of time, the speed of the water flow can be set using the adjustable valve, the flow rate can be tailored to suit the watering needs of individual plants as some need more water than others. This style of sustained watering is better for your plants than sporadic watering. Simply push the spike into the soil surrounding your plant, attach a bottle to the top of the spike (a large variety of water and fizzy drink bottles will work) cut a hole in the top of the bottle so that you can pour in the water, open the valve and set it to the desired flow rate. This handy device is perfect for watering your plants when you go on holiday, are away on business, or even if you simply do not have the time to water your house plants on a daily basis. This simple automatic watering device can be used indoors or outdoors, on potted plants and hanging baskets.
