Why water at the dacha should be stored in black containers: there is a simple explanation
In many suburban areas you can see huge containers filled with water.
The liquid is heated by the sun. The result is moderately warm water, ideal for watering plants.
Do you also have barrels and buckets like these at your dacha? That's very good!
You just need to pay attention to the color of the containers. The darker, the better.
It is advisable to replace all light-colored vessels with black ones.
Why is the color of barrels and buckets so important?
The answer is simple: the color of the containers determines the speed at which the water is heated.
Black is a good "heat attractor". The same cannot be said about white: it reflects the sun's rays.
Therefore, for storing water that is planned to be used for watering garden crops, it is worth using dark containers, not light ones. In such vessels, the liquid quickly acquires a temperature of 20-25 degrees.
It is worth emphasizing that water poured into a black bucket will not only heat up quickly, but will also be well saturated with oxygen.
As a result, the gardener will always have access to a liquid to which the plants will “react” very well.
