A cheap drip irrigation system will help water-hungry veg continue to grow as well as save time. Watering fruit and vegetables is very time consuming, and having a watering system for those plants which are out of the way helps save time. Courgettes will grow very quickly if they are given plenty of water. Drip irrigation:
also known as trickle irrigation or micro-irrigation
minimizes the use of water by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone
uses devices called micro-spray heads, which spray water in a small area, or dripping emitters.
subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) uses buried dripperline at or below the plant roots.
good in areas where water supplies are limited or recycled water is used for irrigation
Recycled water bottles can be filled with water and fitted with a mircro-spray head, which is pushed into the soil around the roots, to make a cheap drip system.
This cheap irrigation system is:
perfect to water vegetables and soft fruit
inexpensive
good for indoor or outdoor use
