How to make a free garden hose sprinkler
If you need to water beds or tree seedlings with a garden hose, you need to use a sprayer. Without it, the stream of water hits close, so you have to get close to each plant; in addition, it erodes the soil and can break young shoots. A spray bottle is a must, and if you don’t have one, you can make one from a plastic bottle.
A part of the neck with a thread is sawed off from a PET bottle. The cut is made in front of the stiffener.
Next you need to make a couple of dozen small holes in the bottle cap. To do this, you can use an awl heated over a flame. A burned hole is smoother than a drilled hole.
Then you need to glue the cut neck onto the edge of the garden hose. To do this, the hose at the gluing site is cleaned until rough.
Hot glue is applied to it, and the neck is pulled on top. For reliability, you should also glue the joint from the inside.
The hot-melt adhesive holds well enough so that water does not leak at the joint, but is sprayed into small streams strictly through the holes in the lid.In fact, in terms of functionality, the result is the same sprayer as the purchased one.
Materials:
- plastic bottle;
- Hot melt glue.
