Proper garden watering is crucial to the success of any garden. You need to make sure that plants get sufficient water evenly spread throughout the root system to allow them to grow healthy. It is not necessary to water the leaves and stems as it is not only inefficient, but it also encourages growth of fungal diseases. Your objective when designing your garden watering system must be to provide moisture to the root zone of plants.

Hoses

Using hose to water your garden is not the most efficient way of irrigation. A thirty-minute garden watering by hose every day consumes up to 60,000 liters of water for the entire summer. It may make you feel good if you water by hose, but it can only waste your valuable time. Hoses, however, are handy in watering areas where installation of pop-up sprinklers is impractical and for watering grown-up trees and shrubs once a month.

Sprinklers

A garden watering system using sprinklers is the best way to regulate and distribute water to wet zones of your garden, provided that it is well-designed and properly installed. The timing mechanism of these types of garden supplies is the key to control rates of water application. When designing garden watering system using sprinklers, remember that lawn and garden size, soil conditions and climate are some of the factors that determine the quantity of water required for your garden.

When choosing sprinklers, make sure that they suit your garden situation. To save on water, this garden watering system must be installed in a way that it does not spray roads and other paved areas. If you live in an area where it is windy, you may choose the larger-droplet types to avoid misdirected sprays. And, remember to set the schedule of the control timer in accordance with the application rate of each sprinkler.
