Hi team, can someone please guide us through on how create an effective yet simple to execute watering system? Is there any sprinkler attachment that we can use along with which hose is reliable? Any expert tips - thanks so so much for your time and patience with us!

Hi @mukeshkaura1,

Creating an effective watering system for your garden is a straightforward process. For the garden bed at the rear, a drip irrigation line is a great option, as it provides consistent watering directly to the soil, reducing water waste and keeping plants healthy. 

For a grassed area, installing pop-up sprinklers would be ideal. Place quarter-circle pop-ups in the corners, and half-circle pop-ups along each long side of the lawn. This layout should give thorough coverage across the lawn. To plan with more precision, try using the Gardena MyGarden Planner; you can input your lawn’s dimensions to ensure your coverage is spot-on.

For a simpler setup, you might consider a garden hose with an oscillating sprinkler, especially since your grassed area is rectangular. This type of sprinkler is easy to attach, adjust, and move as needed. 

Here's a helpful guide: How to install an irrigation system.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Again, thanks so much Mitch. I think I will go with the simpler set up and explore the rest later. But good to know that there are options available. Thanks again Mitch

Is this for the lawn or garden bed - the design and materials would change based on that. For lawn sprinklers are good to be done before laying the lawn. After laying digging and all that gets messy. Best to use a plug in oscillating sprinkler that can go on to hose.

for garden if you can draw some rough layout with measurement I can help suggest more details

Thanks J-P for your offer to help! I think we are going with oscillating sprinklers at the moment. I will see if we are able to protect it - else I will certainly take you up on more questions. Take care & stay awesome!
