The summer season is in full swing: enthusiasts of the agricultural business have become akin to hoes and rakes, and also successfully pumped their climbing skills on ladders and trees. From year to year, the evolution from an ordinary inhabitant of a megalopolis into a specialist in gardening occurs when using familiar, but, alas, outdated working tools. Meanwhile, manufacturers of inventory regularly deliver new items to the market that can facilitate and accelerate the process of such a rebirth. The main thing is to know what to look for. Well, our review will help you understand modern developments.

Down with the weeds

Everyone knows the anecdote about neighbors in the country who do not recognize each other by sight, because they are used to identifying others by other parts of the body. Jokes aside, but those caring for the beds spend a lot of time hunched over. So what to do? Here you have to choose between back pain … or in the heart - when looking at overgrown weeds. And most of the gardeners, of course, prefer the first option. But sacrifices are not needed! It is enough just to replenish the inventory with the necessary tool - a special device for removing weeds, with a telescopic handle. The teeth of the clever machine cover the root of an unnecessary plant from all sides and pull it out, after which a special ejection system cleans the retainer from debris. Manufacturers claim that their novelty will cope even with dandelions. And you no longer need to weed, bending over into three deaths. One less problem? Move on!

Someone grows potatoes on their site, and someone grows grass: not yet an English lawn, but something very similar. However, striving for the ideal is not a sin. But you need to allocate a lot of time for timely and thorough care. Or not? How about recruiting an automated assistant to work? Have you heard of robotic vacuum cleaners? So, modern lawn mowers work on a similar principle. You start a smart car in the garden and go about your business, and she goes around everything, cuts, levels. And no plugs and no electricity - the device is powered by solar panels! The beauty.

Suppose that while you are enjoying the work of the new mechanism, your children or grandchildren could not resist the juicy, well-groomed, soft grass and decided to lie on it … something wire. A typical situation. In the garden, everything is not used for work: even an attentive owner can lose sight of something, leaving small debris on the site. However, this requires not so much a sharp eye as the correct approach. The problem is easily solved with … a magnetic rake. Everything ingenious is simple. The principle of their work is usual, but along the way, in addition to dry grass and leaves, the tool captures all metal objects: pieces of iron, nails, screws, screws. And nothing dangerous will be hidden in the grass anymore!

Hedge

Maybe your bushes are growing where necessary, but certainly not in the desired direction. Unruly branches need to be trimmed and guided all the time. It goes without saying that you will not surprise anyone with all sorts of garden pruners - a great variety of them are used. But modern trimmers can surprise you, for example, with ultra-light ones, with hidden blades, which minimizes the risk of cutting the power cable. Even a child can use them. All trimmings are sucked into a container under the handle or into a special bag that is included in the kit. Comfortable. Just. Inexpensive.

And now the hit of the season! You no longer need to call neighbors who spent the night at the dacha and ask: “How are things on the site? Was it raining on the weekend? "," When did the plum ripen? "," Did strangers enter the fenced area? " All these questions can be answered by watching the recording from special garden cameras. Miniature devices powered by ordinary batteries will give you complete information about what happened in your absence. You just need to dig them in strategically important places, and nothing will go unnoticed. Six acres will be under round-the-clock surveillance. The cameras are waterproof and designed to work all year round. Pictures are automatically taken at set intervals and then converted to video. Only four AA batteries guarantee two hundred hours of operation of the devices. Ideally, of course, I would like to be able, sitting in a city apartment, to monitor the process of harvest ripening - the apples turn red, grab the buckets and go to the site. But then Internet access would be needed, and that's a completely different story …

We just took a bite of the delicious apple of knowledge of gardening creativity. There are also a huge number of all kinds of devices that facilitate everyday gardening work: from small hand sprayers to huge cultivators. All this can and should be mastered without fear of changing habits. By saving time and effort on routine processes, you can free up minutes, hours, days for something more interesting. Experiment, and you will be rewarded according to your labors, taking into account the achievements of scientific and technological progress!
