Dec 22, Water Wise Gardening

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:20:02 GMT

Little did I know when I moved to the country it would be another nine years before I would attach a garden hose to mains water and hand water plants. We had moved onto five acres in an area gripped by disastrous drought. and there is still no sign of it abating. Of course that meant not enough water for our garden. The hoses we had in the country started to wither though lack of use, in fact ants took up home in most of the hoses and lived there for years. It came as such a culture shock to be in the city today and get out there with a garden hose and hand water the plants on this suburban block. But, between 6.00am and 8.00am every Tuesday and Saturday you are permitted to water plants by hand, so off I went with the best of intentions, what I didnt know was that I lacked skill. * To start with I had really forgotten how the plastic attachments worked so that took some time to get right. * Then I found the hose just far too long to manage and it kept getting caught up around the rocks. * It also got bent about four times meaning the water stopped and I had to find the problem and straighten out the hose. * Plus the hand held attachments are much more sophisticated these days and I had to work out how to provide different types of spray to different types of plants. * The real problem came when I had to detach the hose from the mains tap to take it around to the front garden. I didnt realize the pressure inside the hose was so great and when I released the hose water flew in all directions soaking me from head to toe. But forewarned is forearmed as they say. The back yard had been challenging so by the time I had finished with the front yard I thought I would be more skilled at taking the hose off the tap. But no, water shot out like a bullet, hitting me square in the face and almost knocking my glasses off my face. I was even more drenched than the first time, nursing a bruised ego and barely able to see. I do think it is far more dangerous living in the city where you can hand water as it turns out. Much safer up the country with snakes, bushfires and drought.
