    Brilliant idea. This will save me loads of messing about moving the sprinkler. Just used your code - thank you - and ordered the 50m and reel. All the best. 👍

      I wasn't sure initially, but I actually think it's class (regardless of them sending it to me - wouldn't have made the video otherwise). The fact that it's like rain sold it to me. I've used it a fair few times over the past month.

    I’ve used the sumi soaker for the past couple of seasons, it does work really well, so long as the isn’t much wind, and like you say, you only really need to crack the tap open to get decent coverage, also got the the German ones that the Real mowing mowing club has, also excellent and if it’s windy has a bit more punch to it. Both are great in my opinion 👍

    • @NoviceGardener

      I'll have to have a look. I wasn't sure when I originally saw it. Thought it would be more cumbersome, but with the reel it's really handy.

    Looks great but £110 for a sprinkler is a tad excessive given the main benefit is length and so you’d want to order the long one. Great channel though bud, enjoyed the vid as always 👍

      It won't be for everyone and guess it will depend more on the type of space too.

    Well when you want to water somewhat frequently, you can't leave this thing on there, it will leave a mark for sure. If you want a simple solution I'd get the type of sprinkler that can sit at the border and spray in a radius.

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  5 місяців тому

      You'd have to take it off between waters otherwise you'd end up with a dead strip. But would do a job depending on the lawn.

    Was close to getting one of these, but pitchcare do one at half the price.
    As i have a water pump so not an issue with pressure , i went for a couple of German sprinkler heads and they work a treat.

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  5 місяців тому

      It depends on what size someone wants to go for.
      I was hesitant about the soaker hoses at first, but they're decent bits of it. Much prefer them to a regular sprinkler.

    How does sumisoaker compare to garden hose and sprinkler
    20 mins with my sprinkler gives me about an inch of soaking
    How long should I leave my sumisoaker on for same result - 1st try this morning and looks great but not sure for how long

    • @NoviceGardener
      @NoviceGardener  3 місяці тому +1

      I usually leave it on for 20/25 minutes. I've not actually tested how much water it puts down, but I'm going buy some of the rain catchers to test it. I'd use a tuna can, but you'd never catch me cracking one of them - don't do fish!

      I use rain catchers from Amazon
      I left it running for about 30 mins and it had filled 1.5 cm in 3 different locations
      Although more accurate and saves water, it’s gonna me longer soaking times to get to magic 1 inch 2-3 times a week

      Fair dos mate - it always depends on the type of lawn you have, and even the shape too.
      Weedol is great. It takes a few weeks to do it's thing, but you'll see the results in about 2 to 3 weeks. I applied it last autumn and have almost no weeds in my front lawn!
