Drip irrigation systems are effective, economical, and easy to set up.

Drip irrigation systems are becoming more and more popular, and it’s not hard to see why. Anyone who is reasonably handy in the garden can design and install their own drip irrigation system, and immediately begin to enjoy the benefits.

Not only will you have a beautifully lush lawn and garden, you won’t be wasting any water, which is great for the environment and saves you some money into the bargain. You can find all the supplies and parts you need to set up your drip system from this site.

If you’re designing a new garden from scratch, you have the perfect opportunity to install your drip hoses underground, where they will irrigate your lawn and garden most effectively. If you already have a beautiful garden planted, and you don’t want to have to dig it up to install a new irrigation system, laying the drip hoses on top of the ground over the garden beds and around large trees and plants will still work very well.

The advantages of using drip systems to irrigate your lawn and garden.

Drip irrigation delivers water slowly and steadily directly to the roots of plants, which is where it can be absorbed most effectively. Because you don’t spray the irrigation through the air, you don’t lose as much water to evaporation, and it doesn’t blow away in the wind.

Most importantly, you never end up watering your driveway or the wall of your house. Because drip irrigation delivers water slowly and steadily to your plants, you don’t have excess water collecting in pools, where it will either run off and be wasted, or cause disease to the plants.
