These globes have been described as "the perfect solution to keep your plants healthy and flourishing".

Each globe holds 0.45 litres of water and is designed to water your plants for up to 10 days.

Watering globes work rely on the drying soil to create a vacuum that draws water out of the globe and into the soil.
This creates the self-watering effect, keeping the soil consistently moist.
The soil regulates how much water is released, as the vacuum is only created when it dries.
This consistent moisture provides a steady supply of water to your plants' roots.
Don't be alarmed if a small amount of water initially flows out when you first place the globe in your flowerbed.

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
