For any garden, it is always better to decide which irrigation system suits before deciding to implement. The irrigation system may be automatic sprinkler system or drip irrigation system. Sprinkler system which is automatic is worth to maintain a very beautiful garden. The advantage is watering can be predetermined and set as per need. It allows water conservation also if properly designed and installed by professionals. The automatic system will ensure watering and use less water when compared to watering by hand. But is it better compared to drip irrigation system?

Drip irrigation by Rainbird Woking or micro irrigation allows (flow) water to plants slowly compared to the sprinkler system. The reason is drip irrigation uses plastic pipes which are interconnected and carry water where the flow is slow and so is the pressure. Drip irrigation is better if water availability and rainfall are low, so as if the area is narrow or not perfectly shaped. Drip irrigation can be installed easily (by manual) and equipment is readily available, can be changed easily as plants grow over time and so is the need. Reports indicate efficiency of drip irrigation at 90% and sprinkler system in the range of 50 to 70%.

In case of serious drought, drip irrigation may be exempted from restriction due to the efficiency. Watering plan or schedule is important in ensuring the efficiency even for drip irrigation. If the schedule is not proper the water wastage will be there. So irrespective of which irrigation system the garden have, watering schedule is crucial and important. Now let we look at another advantage of garden irrigation, Woking. By drip irrigation water is applied in low qty to plant roots and it helps in maintaining water and air equally in the soil. This balancing and moisture in the soil is helpful for plants growth. Drip irrigation applies water slowly and frequently at minimum flow as per schedule so plants get its need. Sprinkler irrigation applies water not uniformly in the sense there is fluctuation and so cannot expect maximum results in plant growth.

Micro irrigation is now extensively available and well designed to suit home gardens than earlier. Micro irrigation system is best suited for vegetable/fruit garden, landscapes, flower garden. For plants in the container, micro irrigation is better suited. Drip irrigation is well managed with a controller and managing becomes easy. Drip irrigation by Rainbird Woking is apt for plantation in slopes. Slopes are a difficult area for irrigation because of physical nature. Due to gravity, water is pulled down and cultivation becomes a challenge. Drip irrigation system ensure water is not drained down by low volume and slowly which ensures easy absorption by plants.
