Green products for your Nanaimo garden
It's almost summer in Nanaimo. Believe it or not, after all the rain we enjoyed this past winter and spring, we are coming up to the time when water restrictions begin.
At our sales meeting last week we had a guest speaker from IDUS Controls. IDUS Controls is based in Nanaimo and they develop award winning water conservation products. They had a presentation of their product line. The product that appealed to me the most was the Conservepump for the garden. This product is ingenious. As a gardener, I immediately saw it's potential.
The Garden Conservepump recycles rainwater using an automated irrigation sensor that waters your garden only when needed. How neat is that! This product helps you conserve water as well as ensuring your plants are not over watered.
In order to use the Garden Conservepump you need to have a rain barrel or cistern. Should you run out of water in your rain barrel the Garden Conservepump switches over to domestic water. The very best thing about this product is that there is no user intervention required. Go ahead and go on holiday.
The company claims that if you use this product with a rainwater collection system you can reduce water use from irrigation by up to 80% compared to a traditional irrigation system.
