Without hoses, jets, valves, or expensive electronic controls that would require maintenance, Logissol-O is an autonomous individual watering unit that can irrigate 1 to 4 plants at a time, underground, directly at root level. 100% of the small amount of water used for irrigation is directed directly underground without having to moisten the soil surface. Less water, less time, fewer diseases, less weeding, and better yields! This is what Logissol-O users experience!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLogissol-O has 2 parts: A perforated container and a special, universal grid lid. The 650 ml container has 4 holes at the base and is inserted into the ground near the plants to be irrigated. The grid lid is placed over the container, and it is what makes the device so effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimply pour water through the grid lid to fill the 650 ml container, and watering is done for the next 2 to 5 days. Does this seem far-fetched? We understand, because no other product on the market meets such a deep and simple environmental and horticultural logic at the same time.

This depends on the type of soil and its porosity. This is not important! The role of the Logissol-O device is not to gradually provide water to plants, but to place the water in the right spot, i.e., under the ground, to stimulate root growth so that they become increasingly self-sufficient. If there were a gradual and constant supply of water, plants would develop a dependence on your watering. They would limit the growth of their roots only where they are accustomed to receiving water. Mosquito larvae, algae, and roots would develop in the container if water were to remain there for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2) Should there always be water in the container?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is not a drip system! It is a receptacle that quickly receives irrigation water and delivers it to the right place. A single refill every 2 to 3 days is sufficient, even if the container has emptied in 30 minutes or 30 seconds. No water should remain in the container. The 650 ml of water you have put in sufficiently soaks the subsoil to reactivate the soil's capillarity, which restores watering autonomy to your plants for the next few days. This is the only system based on this natural and logical principle of plant water supply. The little water you put in allows your plants to optimize their root growth so that they go deeper and wider to become self-sufficient, like plants in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3) How many Logissol-O units are needed to water my plants?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAny plant within 18 inches (45 cm) of the watering device will be irrigated.

Halve the usual dosages because your fertilizers become more effective\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dilute in your watering can and pour into your Logissol-O units. If it's a slow-release granular fertilizer, put a tablespoon of fertilizer in each Logissol-O through the lid's grillage, and your fertilization will be done for the year. With each watering, a little fertilizer will be released directly to the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6) Are these devices guaranteed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst manufacturing defects, yes. But given the simplicity of the piece, its professional manufacturing process, and the verification during its manual packaging, there is little chance that you will experience a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7) Can I use containers other than the one provided to put in the ground?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the mesh lid was designed to allow you to use whatever container you have. Ideally, try to use a container that resembles the original, because tests conducted over about ten years show that the amount of water it holds, as well as the diameter and depth of the holes, bring the Logissol-O to its optimal efficiency for most plants with this container size. 650g yogurt pots are ideal.\u003cstrong\u003e It is possible to obtain already perforated used yogurt pots from us that have been collected by elementary school students, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eallowing them to raise funds for their environmental school projects. Ask us for them when you order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8) Does Logissol-O work equally well in clay and sandy soils?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLogissol-O can be used in all soils. The frequency of watering and its installation method will change. In heavy (clay) soil, it is good to dig your hole 3 to 5 cm wider so that you can fill the perimeter of the perforated container with stone dust or coarse sand to help the container empty. In heavy soil, during a dry period, you can space your waterings every 4 to 5 days, while in sandy soil it will be every 2 to 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9) Will the plastic container that goes into the ground remain in good condition? It seems soft and fragile to me.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes! Its walls are strong enough to retain the surrounding soil, and since it is buried, the sun cannot reach it and make the plastic brittle over time due to UV rays. The fact that its walls are flexible gives it the advantage of not being subject to breaking with frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10) Can Logisol-O be used in window boxes or other flower containers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but only for large vases over 16 inches. The space taken by the Logissol-O would reduce the already scarce amount of potting soil in the containers. Since these potting soils are very porous and the water requirements are very high in these types of containers, watering is crucial. The advantage of putting Logissol-O in large containers or tubs is that it allows irrigation water to soak the center of your soil ball and ensures effective watering. The main advantage of Logissol-O is to reactivate the capillarity of the soil to restore autonomy to plants. In flower containers, there is no capillarity, since there is no subsoil. This is why flower containers require much more watering than plants in the ground!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11) Are there places where Logissol-O should be installed as a priority?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Plants near foundations are always short of water, because foundation drains prevent capillarity from watering them. Installing Logissol-O near these plants will ensure unprecedented yields while avoiding excessive water consumption. Vegetable gardens also require a lot of water. Since most people do not mulch in the garden, evaporation by the sun is enormous. Surface watering does no good. This is why Logissol-O should be installed in the vegetable garden as a priority. In arrangements under trees. When you understand the phenomenon of capillarity, you quickly understand that it is the tree that captures water from the subsoil, thus depriving surface plants of water. Logissol-O will therefore compensate for this lack, without wasting water. Users of rainwater harvesting barrels have every interest in installing Logissol-O. Given the great water savings that Logissol-O provides, the small reserve accumulated in the barrel can be used much longer in times of drought. A single barrel content (200 liters) can fill 200 Logissol-O devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12) I need several! Can Logissol-O be purchased in large quantities?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in bulk. It is not distributed in stores. It is an exclusive product that you can buy in the quantities you want, most of the time in bulk to reduce packaging. Due to its originality, Logissol-O is not sold in stores because it needs to be well explained. You are therefore assured of having the correct information because you will always be in contact with the designer or an experienced retailer..\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.logissol.ca\/ou-trouver\/\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e13) I have a rainwater harvesting barrel. How would Logissol-O save me more drinking water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLogissol-O is the perfect complement to rainwater harvesting barrels!\u003cbr\u003eRainwater harvesting barrels have a capacity of about 200 liters. When you need this water reserve, it is during the period when the barrel cannot be refilled. Therefore, the water it contains must last as long as possible. The only way is to take less with each watering. It doesn't take long to empty 200 liters of water during surface watering! This is where Logissol-O comes to your rescue! You can fill 200 Logissol-O units with a single 200-liter barrel content. This means that you could have, for example, 50 Logissol-O watering devices in your gardens and be able to fill them 4 times, every 2 to 3 days. Logissol-O therefore allows you to get through a drought of about twelve days with a single barrel of rainwater, because you have put the water in the right place, directly at the roots! During this period, if a small rain falls but only moistens the surface of the soil, thus not watering your plants, it will have served to fill your rainwater barrel, allowing you to continue watering in your Logissol-O units. By this process, you will always water with lukewarm water, no longer cooling your soil with cold tap water watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRainwater barrel and Logissol-O are the best \"eco combo\" for watering!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14) How long does it take to water with Logissol-O, given that it must be done manually?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes less time than running an automatic system! It only takes 5 to 7 seconds to fill a Logissol-O, including travel time from one to another. Thus, a standard property with about fifty devices will only take 10 minutes to water. Considering that you don't need to water every day because you've put the water in the right place, the little time you spend watering will also be an investment in the health of your plants and the preservation of drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15) Are we obliged to water only with a hand watering can or can we do it with a hose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watering hose works just as well! No need for a nozzle or spray gun at the end of your hose. You can let the water flow at full hose into the Logissol-O device. Unlike surface watering which causes runoff when you water too quickly, the Logissol-O swallows the water all at once and delivers it directly to the roots within minutes, while you've moved on to something else. However, the disadvantage of using a garden hose is that you are using cold, potable water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16) Do I need to remove the Logissol-O units from my landscaping for winter so they don't break due to frost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo! It's not necessary, but if you want to bring them in, leave the perforated container in place, because the installation hole will need to be readjusted due to soil erosion from the weather. Since the grid lid is simply placed on the perforated container, it's very easy to remove them in the fall and put them back in the spring if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17) Can roots obstruct the holes of the perforated container?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's possible, but not very common! This will depend on the type of vegetation in the vicinity. But since there is never any water left in the container, roots don't tend to settle there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18) Should the two parts of the device be screwed or fixed together?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo! It is preferable not to attach the two parts of the device together. By being separated, the perforated container is easier to install, and the mesh lid can then be removed at any time if you wish to check the inside of the container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19) Isn't it too expensive for such a small piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou know the expression \"Beautiful, good, inexpensive!\" This is the case with Logissol-O. It costs less than $300 to equip all the amenities and the vegetable garden of a standard city property. Even less if you opt for the economy size, which gives you the chance to use your used household containers rather than paying for new ones. Even better! The manufacturer even offers you the possibility of buying Logissol-O watering devices in bulk. The designer offers you something exceptional, durable, versatile and above all practical. You have to see how much time it will save you in watering, in insect and disease treatment, in complicated watering systems with hoses, jets, valves, timers that break down and that you have to maintain. You won't experience any of that with Logissol-O.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20) Can Logissol-O help me warm the soil in my garden in the spring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf course! You just have to water with warm water late in the evening and the soil will be warmed for the night without creating excess humidity on the soil, since Logissol-O distributes 100% of the water underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e21) How many years will these devices serve me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs long as you don't run over them with your car. In other words, for normal use, they will probably last you beyond 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e22) Does Logissol-O help collect rainwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in the following way: If 1 cm of rain falls, the 1 cm that falls on top of the lid will end up at the bottom of the container and will therefore water the roots. But the 1 cm of rain that falls elsewhere on the ground will remain on the surface and will not be used by the plants. This is the case for most summer rains, which evaporate a few hours after falling. This is why it is highly recommended to collect rainwater in a barrel and, thanks to Logissol-O, to direct it underground, directly to the roots and without evaporation. The 1 cm of rain will have filled your barrel. You will thus have made use of this rain which, otherwise, would have evaporated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHappy gardening!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Semences du Portage","offers":[{"title":"Packaging of 5 Logissol-O sets (5 lids and 5 recycled pots)","offer_id":45221027283251,"sku":"8-LSF-KC5","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bulk recycled pot","offer_id":45221027316019,"sku":"8-LSF-PU","price":0.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Logissol-O cover in bulk","offer_id":45221027381555,"sku":"8-LSF-CN","price":4.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/8348\/4467\/products\/kit-complet-logissol-francais-copie.jpg?v=1685024300"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/8348\/4467\/collections\/logissol.jpg?v=1690987287","url":"https:\/\/semencesduportage.com\/en\/collections\/logissol.oembed","provider":"Semences du Portage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
