Proper irrigation keeps plants hydrated and maintains healthy soil during the dry summer months. It can also help protect plants from an early freeze and deter weed growth in warmer months.
Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and avoid evaporation before the water has the opportunity to soak into the ground.
