Micro tubul de irigare este instalat in fiecare modul,trecand prin orificiul interior al bridei care este montata in partea de sus a modulului. 30 Minigarden® Solutii de irigare 31 Introducere Buna irigare este critica pentru cresterea si sanatatea plantelor.Plantele crescute in Minigarden® Vertical si Minigarden® Corner nu fac exceptie. Sistemul inovativ de scurgere gravitationala al Minigarden® Vertical si Corner rezolva problema excesului de apa cauzat de ploaie sau irigare.\apa care nu este absorbita de planta este scursa direct in tava de la baza modulului. Aceasta tehnologie de scurgere elimina trecerea excesului de apa din modulele superioare catre plantele de mai jos,un factor esential pentru a garanta cresterea si supravietuirea unor plante sanatoase. Din acest motiv, toate plantele crescute in Minigarden® Vertical and Minigarden® Corner trebuie irigate. Micro sistemul de irigare ,Minigarden® ,intuitiv si usor de folosit,face irigarea usoara si comoda.Prin integrarea unui echipament de dozare a ingrasamantului,hranirea plantei devine o sarcina simpla si eficienta. Aceste caracteristici confera Minigarden abilitatea de a crea cele mai bune conditii de aerisire si umiditate. 32 Kit-ul de Baza de irigare Minigarden Vertical Noul Kit de irigare de baza consta intr-o solutie de picurare proiectata special pentru Minigarden® Vertical.

Solutia este scalabila pana la trei kit-uri,permitand irigarea a pana la 27 module (81 plante). Aceasta instalatie de irigare poate fi alimentata de la o simpla stropitoare manuala sau poate fi legata la un robinet. Solutia accesibila si intotdeauna universala care poate fi folosita atat la sistemele manuale,cat si la cele automate de irigare. 33 Kit-ul de Baza de irigare Minigarden Vertical O solutie accesibila si aproape universala care poate fi folosita atat cu sistemele manuale cat si si cele automate de irigare 34 MINIGARDEN WATERING SOLUTIONS: TECHNICAL DATA Product description Packing – Stores and Mail Order The irrigation kit basic for Minigarden® Vertical consists of the following parts: I.rrigation Kit Basic for Minigarden® Vertical Part: Valve Coupling T Pipe Cross Elbow Joint Plug Units: 1 6 7 1 2 10 Part: Minigarden micro dripping tube Contains: Units: Features 9 Length 65 mm, Ø int 5 mm, Ø ext 6,5 mm, flow rate 1,5 l/h, approximate distance between drip feeders 20 cm; Watering system and instruction manual in the back of the packaging label Dimensions: 24 x 20.5 x 5.3 cm Net Weight: 146 g Gross Weight: 230 g Shipping Carton Part: Contains: Micro tube Dimensions: 8 Units: Features Part: Gross Weight: Length 17,8 cm, Ø int 4 mm, Ø ext 6 mm 74 x 22 x 69 cm 9.2 kg References and Codes Description Micro tube 36 Irrigation Kit Basic for Minigarden® Vertical Reference GTIN Barcode MGSET36WATKITBASIC 15600350700210 4 Units: Features 36 Irrigation Kit Basic Length 4 cm, Ø int 4 mm, Ø ext 6 mm Minigarden® watering tube .For professional installers, additionally to the Irrigation Kit Basic for Minigarden® Vertical, we have micro watering tube with drip feeders in 25 m, 100 m, 500 m and 1.000 m rolls, porous micro tube in 15 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100 m rolls, and also all the necessary accessories to install watering and ferti-watering systems in large Minigarden green walls®.

Whenever possible, the Minigarden should be oriented so as to maximise its exposure to the sun and, in the event of installation outdoors, the plants’ exposure to dominant winds should be minimised, given that the wind is the main factor responsible for drying plants, as it increases their rate of evapotranspiration. Light is an essential factor to photosynthesis, vital for the proper development of the majority of plants. In the case of fruits, it is essential for producing sugars. The greater the light intensity, the better the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit will be. In general, a lack of light causes an exaggerated elongation of the stems, a loss of colour and vitality, and the plant becomes weak. The presence of a water point is important, as it facilitates the task of watering, either manually or through an automated drip-feed system. Type of Substrate For the proper development of the plants and their root system in the modular Minigarden vases, a universal or compound substrate should be used and not ordinary garden soil. This way, proper drainage and aeration is ensured, as well as an adequate capacity to retain water and exchange nutrients. Garden soil may still be contaminated with fungi and may contain seeds that will germinate, competing with the plantings. As a rule, substrates are lighter, thus reducing the load to which the structure will be subjected. Regardless of the type of substrate used, it should always include fertiliser when planting, and at least once a year this fertiliser should be added again. To facilitate drainage of the system, a 10 cm layer of Leca clay granules may optionally be placed at the bottom of each of the modular vases. To prevent the substrate from mixing with the Leca, a filter comprised of a Geotextile blanket may be added with the Leca clay granules. 8 English Filling The Minigarden is filled manually. We suggest proceeding with filling before assembling the modular Minigarden system. Filling is carried out up to the top mark (2 cm below the edge of the Minigarden). 2cm(0,78 in) SEEDING Seeding operations may be carried out before or after the assembly of the modular Minigarden system. In either case, seeds should be spread after the Minigarden has been filled, and only on the exposed surface of the cavity. Seeding is carried out by burying the seed and covering it with a thin layer of substrate 4 to 5 times thicker than the diameter of the seed. In the last Minigarden line, seeding may be carried out over the entire area, provided that the lid is not installed (parts B). In function of the type of plant to germinate, you may place one or more seeds per cavity. In the case of aromatic plants, we suggest putting several seeds. Germination time depends on the variety chosen, the climatic conditions and the location of the Minigarden system. If the Minigarden system is outdoors, it is important to respect the seeding season for each species. If not, germination may not take place. See the seed packaging for supplementary information and pay attention to the validity. Planting When installing the Minigarden system, you may opt to purchase the plants and carry out planting, instead of seeding, operations, thus gaining good final results more rapidly. This operation may be carried out simultaneously with the filling of the Minigarden and respective assembly, or at the end when the wall has been totally assembled. In the first case, plants should be used whose vase or root systems are not greater than 90 mm in diameter. <90mm English 9 In the second case, plants whose vase or root system are less than 50 mm, or have been purchased with bare roots, should be used. In both cases, the operation of planting the plant involves making a hole in the substrate whose diameter should be greater than the diameter of the vase, or root system, and inserting the plant, settling the surrounding areas with a little more substrate. Keep in mind that the surface of the substrate should be 2 cm lower than the edge of the cavity. Finally, water abundantly. PLANTING Watering/Fertilising HOLE DIAMETER Watering is critical in all phases of the installation of the Minigarden. In the seeding phase, to guarantee the proper germination of the seeds; during planting, to ensure the adaptation and survival of the transplanted plant; and in the plant maintenance phase to ensure the proper development of the same. It is important to bear in mind that excessive watering is just as bad as a lack of watering. Excessive watering may cause the death of the plant by suffocating the roots. The Minigarden system may be installed with a drip-feed water system using micro tubing, or may be watered manually. In this case, a watering can with a small diameter and a long spout should be used. Water each plant one by one, being careful not to add too much water, which will return via the cavity or be drained into the base plate, without any benefit to the plant. Minigarden plants should be watered with the frequency necessary to maintain the moisture content of the substrate at an appropriate level. You may gauge this by putting the tip of your finger 1 cm into the substrate. If it feels moist, watering is not necessary. 10 English Watering should be carried out in the morning or in late afternoon, so as to avoid excessive loss by evaporation. It should not be carried out during the hottest hours of the day. Don’t forget that, even when installed outdoors and exposed to rain, the Minigarden must be watered, given that, due to the configuration of the cavity, rainwater may not reach the lower levels and moisten the substrate enough for the needs of the plant . For successful planting, do not forget fertiliser, indispensable for the plants to develop healthily. Fertilisers may be chemical or organic. Organic fertilisers, which are already widely available, have a beneficial impact on the environment. Common chemical fertilisers are easy to dose and may be dissolved and dispensed to the plant during watering. The choice of appropriate fertiliser should be made in function of the plants inserted in the Minigarden, and their needs for nutrients. Fertilisers available on the market carry the NPK acronym, showing that the product contains the most important nutrients for the development of the plants in terms of parts of nitrogen (N), parts of phosphorous (P) and parts of potassium (K). There are different formulas of NPK fertilisers, based on their purpose. In general, we use: - NPK 4-14-8 for species that produce flowers and fruits. This formulation is recommended to be applied at the moment of planting, as it offers better root formation and development and plant structure. High levels of phosphorous aids flowering. - NPK 10-10-10 for species that do not flower and do not bear fruits, or may be applied to plants already established (flowers, vegetables, fruits), in the form of coverage. - NPK 15-15-20, rich in potassium, this formulation is considered very practical, as it may also be used in hydroponic cultivation, being especially recommended for vegetables. Specific formulations also exist on the market for certain species of ornamental plants. In this case, the formulation is appropriate to the nutritional needs of each species. The frequency for adding fertiliser varies according to the species, but, in general, fertiliser may be applied every two months. But remember: regarding the dose and form of application, strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as shown on the product packaging. English 11 Renewal of PlantS It is natural that the planting success rate does not reach 100%. In this case, it is necessary to proceed with the replacement of dead plants. It may also be necessary to replace some plants due to poor adaptation. In either case, the process is simple. The dead plant/plant to be replaced is removed. If it is necessary to facilitate the removal, a little water may be poured into the cavity. This task may be more or less difficult in function of the dimension of the roots system of the plant to be removed. With a planter or a spike (a pointed wooden or metal object), turn the adjacent substrate and leave a hole ready to receive the new plant. The diameter should be greater than the root ball of the new plant. Proceed as indicated under the item “Planting”. Renewing Substrate In any vase or flower baskets, periodic replacement of the substrate is always necessary, given that, as it is a means of waterproofing, the substrate ends up running out. Under the Minigarden system, its replacement is indispensable and recommended for the proper development of the plants. All the substrate does not have to be replaced at once. For example, we suggest that during one plant replacement operation you take the opportunity to remove 40 to 50% of the substrate adjacent to a cavity. With recourse to a planter or a pointed object, turn and remove the greatest possible quantity of substrate, without dismantling the Minigarden system. After, continue to add substrate to fill in what has been removed, leaving the necessary space to insert the plant. This operation may also be carried out without replacing the original plant. Remove the plant temporarily from the cavity; proceed with the processing of the substrate and put the plant back, following the same steps as under “Planting”. Substrates degrade with greater speed when they hold seasonal fruit plants, such as strawberry, pepper and tomato plants, etc. When decorative indoor plants are used, the substrate can last up to five years. 12 English Recommended varieties Almost all dwarf shrubs and herbaceous plants may be used in a Minigarden structure. Simply arrange them harmoniously (in terms of shape, texture and colour) and be careful to group them by similar water needs, as they are going to share the same space, and therefore be watered simultaneously. Always choose plants suitable for each location. Plants exist for shade, half-shade and full exposure to the sun. Most indoor plants prefer shade or moderate sun and enjoy mild temperatures and constant moistness. Be careful with proximity to heaters, and do not forget to spray your indoor plants both in winter and summer.
