Water Wise: Five things you need to know about drip irrigation

Watching your garden dry out and your plants shrivel up during the drought is a heartbreaking sight, which is why drip irrigation is your garden hero.

Netafim technical advisor Gary Frances shared five benefits of this clever, water-wise irrigation method.

1. Drip irrigation is a process whereby water is delivered in fine droplet form directly to the root zone.

2. There is no run off, therefore no water is wasted.

3. Between 30-40% water is saved on evaporation.

4. Drip irrigation can be tailor designed and installed to suit any size garden.

5. The drip irrigation system is perfect for retaining wall gardens or vertical gardens.

For more info about being water-wise, Netafim will have a special water saving irrigation day on December 1 at 5.30pm at Simbithi Country Club in the Pavilion room.
