Watering The Garden 🪴

The method shown in this video is called "shoulder watering" and it is a traditional way of irrigating gardens and fields in many parts of the world.

To use this method, you will need two containers, such as buckets or watering cans, that are roughly the same size and weight. You will also need a sturdy pole that is long enough to span the distance between the two containers and rest comfortably on your shoulders. The pole can be made of wood, bamboo, or any other strong, lightweight material.

To start, fill both containers with water and place them at opposite ends of the area you want to water. Then, lift the pole and position it across your shoulders, making sure it is evenly balanced. You can adjust the placement of the containers on the pole to achieve the best balance for you.

Once you have the pole and containers in position, you can begin walking slowly and steadily along the length of your garden, allowing the water to flow out of each container and onto the plants. You may need to refill the containers periodically as you go, depending on the size of your garden and the amount of water you need to use.

Shoulder watering can be a good option for small to medium-sized gardens, especially if you don't have access to a hose or sprinkler system. It also allows you to water your plants more precisely and conservatively, as you can target specific areas that need water and avoid wasting water on areas that don't. However, it can be physically demanding, so be sure to take breaks as needed and avoid overexerting yourself.
