Best Products Of The Year, 2001 Part 2

In last weeks article I told you about some of my favorite products that I have tested this year, in part two I will tell you more about another product I tested that was tops on the list.

With my increasing mobility problems I decided it was time to quit watering everything by hand and try an automatic system. Now, I had some doubts about being able to find one that was easy to use and suitable. So, I contacted DripWorks who had a Yard N Garden Kit that looked interesting. Needless to say, it was great. If you are thinking about installing an automatic watering system in your yard, check out the Yard N' Garden Kit from DripWorks before you decide on a system.

This particular system is very easy to assemble, comes with a variety of drippers and sprayers, including misters that are perfect for seedlings or cuttings.

The system contains everything you need to set up your automatic watering system except a timer. However, you can choose to run the system manually and it will work just fine. If you want a timer, you can choose a different kit that does offer one.

I was quite surprised at how easy this did assemble considering when I opened the box at first glance it looked complicated. We set it up and it took less than a half an hour to do approximately a 50' area. The kit does contain enough tubing to cover 100' area.

Another plus to this system is that you can always add more tubing should your garden grow. You can also use various types of sprinkler heads depending on whether your plant prefers to be misted, dripped or sprayed.

The kit also includes "goof plugs" just in case you accidentally punch a hole in the wrong spot.

I really like this system for two reasons. The first one is because of the versatility of the watering heads, if any of you have ever tried to use one sprinkler for all plants, you know it just doesn't work well. The second reason is the ease of putting the system together in addition to being able to swap the sprinkler heads around without damaging the system.

There were other products that I tested too, miniature greenhouses, seed starting units, new books that I reviewed and much more. Some of the products you will hear more about in later articles and some of them, well, I just don't have much to say about. For your favorite gardener, think about some of these products as Christmas gifts. I'm sure they would be delighted and what could please a gardener more than a gift for their hobby.
