When it comes to reducing the amount of water needed to keep your garden alive, drip watering systems are hard to beat.
Where sprinklers would otherwise deliver water to the entire ground of a garden and sacrafice a good deal of it to evaporation, a drip system can target delivery of water directly to plants. It can continuously deliver drops of water to the root areas of plants, minimizing wasted water and encouraging healthy plant growth.
In this section of HomeTips, you will find information about selecting drip system equipment, installing drip watering systems, and general maintenance of drip irrigation systems. For more about garden irrigation, allso see Sprinklers.
