Drip irrigation is a fuss free plant watering method that optimizes water usage and improves plant health and yields while reducing monthly utility costs Unlike traditional overhead sprinklers drip irrigation systems supply water directly to the roots of your plants The process reduces the amount of water lost to the immediate environment such as wind and evaporation while starving opportunistic weeds that may grow around your plants

Additionally drip irrigation methods will keep your foliage dry whole plant roots remain well hydrated As such drip irrigation will help prevent the infestation of destructive pests like mildew commonly attracted to damp and soggy conditions
