The cultivation of vegetables is different from the general lawn care. Head sprinklers work well for irrigation of lawns, gardens, but benefit from a more-ground irrigation system that supplies water directly to plant roots. Of the three methods discussed here, not even two, that all the tools for installation. All can be left and one of them can be left in place throughout the year for the entire growing season.
Soaker hoses are fibrous tubes as a kind of threadSieve, allowing water to penetrate the entire length. They are mainly due to the production of recycled car tires. These usually work best when working in the garden with the traditional method of series.
Lay a soaker hose about 3 to 4 cm from the base of plants. You can bury it in mulch and leave them in the garden until the end of the growing season. Lay all or any part thereof in any line of your soaker garden hose, then wrap it up so that the next line, space and length. ForThe installation of soaker hoses, use a flexible coupler that can connect two soaker hoses to the faucet.
Drip irrigation tapes are essentially flat garden hose with a series of holes along its length. If you are the type, pressure equalization may be obtained, it is not necessary to install a flow controller pin. Without these two, the water pressure can cause rupture of the pipe before the water reaches the end of the tube. Use drip irrigation tape in the same way asSoaker hoses: square next to the line a few centimeters from the base of vegetable plants.
Drip emitter systems are heads out of water pipes are connected to the investor under the earth. Basically like a subterranean irrigation system to act. The water filters through the outlet emitter head with a slow speed and the saturated soil.
Drip emitter lines are installed by driving a spade into the soil surface, wiggling back and forth and the laying of the cable resulting"Ditch". The emitter head water is then attached to one end of the feeding tube. The other end of the supply pipe is connected to the main line from the pin. The feeding tube is then buried in a ditch just by stepping on the ground or turf with your foot.
Each channel of water on an area of several square meters, this distance varies depending on the manufacturer of the irrigation system. They are available as kits, as well as cards. You can leave in the ground throughout the year. ThisType of irrigation is the best for intensive vegetable gardens, annual or perennial flower gardens, trees and shrubs.
Terrestrial organisms disease can be sprayed on plant leaves, if sprinklers. Irrigation systems to reduce the risk of pests and diseases attack vegetables, because the water directly to roots.
