Drip irrigation for lawn

Latterly the subsurface Drip irrigation has found a greater application when taking care of lawns and gardens. Depending on the cultivated plants the tubing and irrigation pipes are constructed at 70 cm distance. As the need arises water is applied through the apertures on the pipes. Thus pressured water is applied into the soil and it reaches directly the root system of plants. The same method can be applied while adding mineral fertilizers to plants.

How it works?

Drip irrigation hydroborer represents a pipe with apertures. The first end of the pipe is pointed and to the other one a hose for water supply is added. Of course it is easier to assemble the drip irrigation system before laying down a lawn. However if you have already a lawn it is possible to dig some tranches in order to install the system. It is notably that drip irrigation has a bevy of benefits.

1. Saving of water

Drip irrigation will affect a considerable saving of water. About 50% of water is lost by overhead irrigation because of run off of the water, airing or evaporation. In addition this method is advantageous because pumps and other equipment are used with the lower powers.

2. Soil aeration

Drip irrigation improves soil aeration. Tiny particles of soil are not washed away. Its surface remains mellow. Drip irrigation improves the growth and development of root system of plants.

3. Healthy plants

This method of irrigation is very popular because the water or mineral fertilizers are applied directly to the root system. It ensures a healthy growth of plants.

4. Less work

When watering root systems of plants inside the soil the upper surface of soil remains dry. That is why there predicaments appear for the sprouting of weeds. In the issue the owner of a garden or lawn needs to work the soil not so often.

5. Fungus risk minimalized

The risk of fungus disease infection for plants is decreased, because the upper surface of soil remains dry.

6. Ideal choice for multiform lawns

It is an ideal option for lawns or gardens of different sizes and trajectories. For instance, if a lawn has a round form the pipes which are constructed inside the soil can follow the lawn trajectory.
