What is Drip Watering (Irrigation)?
It is the slow, precise delivery of water directly to the root zone of your plants. This keeps the root zone moist, but never saturated. The plants retain their proper air and water balance and avoid the stress and shock of the “drench and dry out” cycle associated with conventional watering methods. This results in optimum growth and healthier plants.
Advantages and Benefits
-
Save water: Micro watering reduces water usage and evaporation by up to 70%.
-
Save Money: Easy, do-it-yourself installation. Reduced water bill.
-
Reduce Plant Stress: Plants will be healthier overall resulting in earlier production, up to 49% faster growth and up to 84% higher yields.
-
Save Time: No more hand watering. Less gardening maintenance.
-
Save energy: Lower operating pressure results in reduced energy requirements. A real plus for pump driven systems.
-
Versatile and Durable: Use for hillsides or flat terrain. Hose can be buried or left above ground year-round.
