DRIP LINE INSTALLATION

Drip irrigation is an efficient and economical way to water your plants. You can use it in your vegetable and
perennial gardens and to water your trees and shrubs. Unlike other forms of irrigation, such as sprinklers that
are only 65-75% efficient, drip irrigation is 90% efficient at allowing plants to use the water applied. It reduces runoff and evaporation and applies the water slowly at the root zone of the plant where it is most
needed.

Drip irrigation involves placing tubing with emitters on the ground alongside the plants. The emitters slowly
drip water into the soil at the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at an optimal range, plant productivity and quality improve.

Benefits of Drip Irrigation:

• Prevents disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants.
• Allows the rows between plants to remain dry, improving access and reducing weeds.
• Saves time, money, and water because the system is so efficient
• Reduces labor.
• Increases effectiveness on uneven ground.
• Reduces leaching of water and nutrients below the root zone.
