Keep your home and garden looking neat with water bricks
Its not always easy to keep your garden or patio looking neat and tidy, especially if you want to avoid digging up flowerbeds and lawns to run irrigation pipelines. But with the addition of water bricks, you can keep every corner of your property neat and orderly.
Water bricks are large bricks, typically about six inches in diameter and twelve inches in height, which are made from clay, concrete, or other materials capable of holding water. Water bricks can be used to collect, store, and naturally distribute water from your water source to wherever it is needed on your property.
Water bricks can be placed around flower beds, along the sides of garden paths, or at the bottom of a lawn to distribute water throughout the area. Water collected in a water brick will fundamentally take the shape of the brick, allowing the water to fill in all the gaps, giving even water distribution. As the water slowly leaks out, the rock will remain full to the top. The water will remain in the brick until it is used up and becomes recharged each time it rains.
A water brick is cost-effective and efficient as it can store more water than a typical irrigation pipe and less labor-intensive than manually filling every gardening pot or soil area. And the bricks come in many shapes and sizes meaning you can fit them into all sorts of places around your property.
When placing and arranging water bricks, there are a few things to consider for successful and effective water distribution. Firstly, ensure the water brick is placed in the highest area of the property so that the water is able to flow from the higher point where the water is collected down to other areas of the garden. Also, make sure the brick is placed on a well-draining surface for effective water absorption.
Water bricks are an excellent addition to gardens and patios and can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining your property. They are easy to install and offer a low-impact way of reaping great benefits. When properly used, water bricks can help you keep your home and garden looking neat and tidy all year round.
