About the Aquacorner System
A raised bed, built with the Aquacorner system.
Raised beds are the easiest and most productive way to garden. They're easier to plant, tend and harvest than in-ground beds ? and now they're easier to water, too. With our new Aquacorner™ Raised Bed Soaker Systems, you can create a self-watering raised bed that makes it simple to give plants the slow, deep, consistent watering they need to thrive. If you're tired of dragging hoses out to your garden, you're going to love this new innovation.
How It Works
Start by connecting your garden hose to the bottom fitting of the Aquacorner. Then, attach the soaker hose to the spigot and arrange it around the plants in the bed. When you're ready to water, turn on the spigot and water travels through the internal plumbing and into the soaker hose. When you're done, turn off the spigot.
Soaker hoses are one of the most effective ways to water your garden:
- They apply water at the soil, where the plant roots need it.
- Less water is lost to evaporation than if you use overhead watering, such as a sprinkler.
- Water is applied slowly, so there's minimal runoff.
The Aquacorner Soaker System makes watering easy ? and when something is this easy you're more likely to do it consistently. That means healthier plants and a bigger and better harvest.
