MICRO IRRIGATION
MICRO IRRIGATION
FOR TODAY’S LANDSCAPES Fixed or Adjustable Micro Watering Devices – that is the question for micro irrigation for today’s Landscapes Today’s landscape gardens are as diverse and individual as the UK’s landscape itself. Micro irrigation in the form of drip and low volume micro spray is seen as an effective irrigation method to maintain and grow these landscape gardens. Sometimes as irrigation professionals we focus on commercial outcomes for landscape gardens which may not be an ideal solution. A point in question is the use of fixed volume drippers either standard or pressure compensating exclusively in a landscape garden. Plants in a landscape garden are varying by size, type and subsequently their water usage, whereas in a commercial horticultural application such as a vineyard or orchard the plant variation is less and uniform watering is the prime driver. It makes sense to provide precise and uniform amounts of water to these commercial enterprises. For the landscapers however flexibility in their watering systems can be required and therefore adjustable watering devices are popular.
