Last year, I set up a watering system in my balcony area for my plants.

I must admit, it’s not an actual garden, and I don’t think I’m that good of a green thumb. I enjoy plants, but I am yet to be on the actual plants hobbyists and experts. That said, I wanted to set up a timed watering system because my job required me to travel and left my plants for days and weeks.

Fast forward to now, I have more time at home, and while I do enjoy the timed watering system, the hose started to show its wear and tear.

That one has been keep popping off whenever we start the water. The timer is still pretty okay-ish, but we found something is blocked inside. Unfortunately, we can’t pull apart the elements. For some reasons, the timer is this… one shape without any bolts or caps for us to open and check what’s inside. Even opening an iPhone would be an easier feat than this one.

I haven’t used/turned this system on for quite some time, and I have been using a manual way to water my plants.

I admit, it gets pretty tiring pretty fast. There are some plants that obviously need more water than the others, so I had to move back and forth to refill the watering pot.

We actually did get ourselves a watering house, though, many times ago. I usually got them from Mr. DIY stores, but the hose just kept breaking and leaking, which… expected. The price point defines the quality and the durability, which made me got frustrated. That said, I told Ari that I wanted to buy a watering hose, a proper one, this time, so off we went last weekend to a HomePro store at IOI City Mall Putrajaya. So now, please welcome, Kärcher.

Kärcher is one of my dream brands. Dyson can just go to whatever it came from for all I care, Kärcher stays. Some would see the bright yellow color garishly jarring, I see it as the prowess of industrial-grade quality. A girl only wants two things: To be able to eat everything without gaining weight and a Kärcher pressure washer.

The installation was pretty straightforward, and I love this brand has the option for a compact/mobile one. Our balcony is not that big, so even though the hose provided is 10 meters long, I don’t think I need even up to 5 meters to water my plants.
