Garden Irrigation: What is it?

A garden irrigation system is a type of watering that usually runs automatically. It consists of above-ground or underground hoses to which ground-level sprinklers or pulsation sprinklers on tripods are connected. This allows for very gentle and even moistening of the soil. It is particularly practical because it saves you time and often money as regular irrigation requires much less liquid than, for example, spot watering with a watering can.

An automated garden irrigation system is especially advantageous when you are on vacation. Using a timer or other technical devices, you can set exactly when and how long the system should run. This means you don't have to ask your neighbors to water your plants and you still come back to a healthy garden after your trip.

Areas and Plants That Appreciate Gentle Irrigation

• Lawn
  Especially during the hottest summer weeks, your lawn does not get enough from the sparse raindrops. Even can't help. On the contrary, it works best when the soil is really nice and moist. Large grass areas are very difficult to water by hand or with a simple garden hose. Often the water jet is too strong, and some parts are overwatered while others get too little. Regular and gentle garden irrigation benefits both young and older grass plants.
• Shrubs
  Shrubs are sometimes so voluminous that it is hard to reach the stems with a watering can. In such cases, garden irrigation—whether spot or widespread—effortlessly ensures that the water reaches where it is most needed. Another plus: You don't have to contort yourself to give your plants the life-saving water.
• Flowers

Whether tulips, dahlias, or roses: Flowers transform any otherwise dull garden into a feel-good oasis. However, the delicate petals are very sensitive and quickly fall off when hit by too strong a water jet. With a garden irrigation system that moistens the plants from below and doesn't even reach the precious flower cups, you save your flower beds from losing their colorful splendor too quickly.

Differences Between Garden Irrigation and Garden Watering

At first glance, they seem like two terms for the same thing: providing flowers, shrubs, lawns, and beds with water so they can grow well. However, there is a significant difference between garden watering and garden irrigation. Watering encompasses all methods: from moistening with a watering can, to automatic irrigation, to an underground system that is laid in the ground and regularly releases water drop by drop. Garden watering is thus the overarching category for the different variants.

Material and Accessories for Well-Planned Garden Irrigation

Before buying everything for your irrigation system, you should plan exactly where it will run and how many individual water distributors you need. Measure the required meters of hose and add a little buffer. Decide on some sprinklers. They mainly vary in the number of nozzles and the maximum irrigation area. Don't forget the tapping saddles. They make it easier to execute your layout plan because you can attach a sprinkler not only at the end of a hose but also in the middle. and connections help you assemble the individual water pipes.

We recommend using appropriate sealing material to seal the threaded connections. Whether sealing hemp combined with the appropriate paste, Teflon tape, or a sealing thread in an innovative dispenser: The important thing is that the material matches the connection material.
