About Quattro Gairdín Cliste Faoi Dhíon

Is gairdín cliste faoi dhíon é Quattro chun plandaí a fhás sa bhaile. Tá trí chuid san dearadh: bonn uisce criadóireachta glónraithe, ceithre phota theracóta neamhghlónraithe agus lampa fáis ar chreat miotail. Téann an t-uisce go mall tríd an teracóta micrea-phoiriúil, ionas nach nglacann na fréamhacha ach an méid a theastaíonn uathu. Leanann an modh seo an olla, seantheicníc uisciúcháin, agus ceadaíonn sé neamhspleáchas uisce ar feadh suas le coicís. Úsáideann an lampa dé-óidí astaithe solais gairneoireachta le huaineadóir socraithe do dhá uair déag ar siúl agus dhá uair déag as. Tá an fhoirm spreagtha ag gairdíní iata clabhstraí meánaoiseacha.

Unique Properties: Quattro is a ceramic smart garden with the best light for plants.
We use an ancestral and very effective and 100% natural irrigation system, the “OLLA”. The oldest known traces were found in China 4,000 years ago. Ancient Rome also used this technique. Thanks to the use of micro-porous terracotta, the roots draw the quantity of water necessary for their needs. In this way, the water shock is avoided and plant growth is harmonious. In addition, reduction in water consumption with a water autonomy of up to 2-3 weeks.
In addition, Quattro is provided of a special Grow lamp with an integrated timer that reproduces sun sequence.
