Drip irrigation system
An irrigation system is a very important feature for a garden. When planning a garden and an irrigation system, you must take into consideration a few factors like soil type, the water source, budget and plant water requirements.
Begin by drawing the dimension of the garden on a graph paper.
The height of the plants will determine if you need to elevate the sprinkler system position or position the sprinklers in such a way so the smaller plants aren’t blocked of water. In the case of large spaces, flood irrigation is the most efficient. Check the water availability and the space you work with. The flood system consists of a berm built around the plant area. This space is filled with water once a week. The water will soak into the ground and water the roots of the plants. This method doesn’t work on some types of soil.
Determine what matters most between efficiency and initial costs. A drip irrigation system is the most effective of all but it is also the system with the highest initial costs. You can avoid many problems like plant mold and mildew if you use a drip irrigation system. Work out what system you need to use. Draw the routes from the water supply to the watering area and make an irrigation schedule.
