Irrigation - Drippers or Sprayers
Hi,
I want to install an irrigation system in the front and back yards. I haven't decided whether I will use drippers (Drip Eze hose), or sprinklers on the garden beds. What are the adavantages/disadvantages of each type of system? |

Irrigation - Drippers or Sprayers
It will depend on what you are watering, eg lawns, vegie patches, garden
beds. Sprayers do well on lawns however if it is windy you waste alot of water due to overspray. Drippers are better as you can place them at the base of the plant and water exactly where you want it to. I went to Bunnings and asked for help there, but for garden beds and patches then drippers are probably the better option. Good Luck "Ecky Thump" wrote in message om...

Bunnings also have a weeping hose which is said to use up to 70% less
water than traditional watering systems - can be purchased in a packaged 10 or 15m pack and they also have it by the metre. This hose is black in colour and laid under your mulch - not to be confused with the green soaker hose. It depends on what you are watering - some plants do not like to have their leaves wet which encourages fungal disease and mould. You don't say where you live, but a lot of water is lost through evaporation in the heat of summer. Happy gardening Jan |
