e of irrigation that uses tiny holes in pipes or emitters to deliver water directly to the roots of plants in small quantities. This is done instead of watering plants by pouring the water directly onto the soil. The benefits are many with this type of system, including:
During normal watering, soils can become saturated, and excess water will be released into the air as steam, evaporation or runoff into nearby waterways. Drip irrigation delivers only the amount of water your plants need, so there’s no runoff of wasted water.
Drip irrigation also allows you to fill up every part of your garden with water instead of just wetting the surface. Drip irrigation is better for plants because they get more water directly to their roots. You’ll save money because this system uses as little as half the water of other methods.
Pick your watering times
Water in the early morning or late evening. Watering at these times helps avoid evaporation, so it conserves water. Plus, it will allow the water to soak in more deeply. LL
