Hi tech mobile tree watering device

[scbk]

TCF engineering brash cart,

200l drum,

and a few plumbing fittings

 

Hose is 3/4" for more flow than a 1/2" garden hose.

 

Fill it from a rainwater tank through the top bung.

Next time I will put a ratchet strap front to back over the drum

Yes mate. That's a nice bit of kit. 

 

200kg obviously, but how mobile is it really?

If there is much wobble from slosh, you could add a few baffles internally. Might not need it, might not be worth the effort? 

[scbk]

Half full at 100kg it's easy to wheel about, the ground gently slopes downhill, you would struggle uphill on grass. This cart also has a 50mm tow bar attachment

 

They're great trolleys, well made.

Very nice.

 

Do you get enough head, (so to speak!), when it's almost empty?

 

[scbk]

Enough head as a man could ever desire!

 

 

I know it's mad, you'll all think I'm a nutter, but I just planted some bare root fruit trees this week. They were on a special offer, 6 different fruit trees for £19.99 plus postage! I assume they're unsold from the winter, and been in a cold store.

I think they would have a chance if it wasn't for the delivery taking a week.......during a heatwave!

The description is a load of soppy waffle

 

It's a punt, I think at least 1 of them has a sign of life, a Pinova apple.

Well, fingers crossed for them, hope they wake up.

 

Hoping to plant 6 more apple trees myself ASAP, not finding the time at the moment unfortunately. They are just sat there in pots, waiting.
