Have you ever tried to grow a vegetable garden only to have lackluster results at the end of the season? This is a common problem for many because for most plants, it takes more than just digging up some dirt and planting seeds to yield a fruitful crop.
Many things like the type of soil, how well you till the dirt, if you are planting at the right time for your temperature zone, and the amount of sunlight the plant gets, play a significant role in how well it will perform.
Even still, you can do all of this and have a very pretty garden that looks as though it will bring lots of great vegetables to your table in the next few months and then, the days pass and it doesn't rain, you’re too busy after work to head out into the yard and stand there with the hose, or you gave the plants a quick spray over but failed to realize that water didn’t actually saturate the roots.
All of this can wreak havoc on your plants.
Fear not though. Just because you are busy and on the go, or just because mother nature hasn't brought much rain for the summer, doesn't mean you can't have juicy plump tomatoes, big squash and fragrant basil. All you need is a drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden.
A drip irrigation system is an easy and inexpensive way to ensure your plants are getting the vital water intake they need to grow and the best part — you can DIY it to keep costs low and customize the drip irrigation system to fit your needs.
You can research what you’ll need and check out videos online for how-to’s and steps to completing the project and even purchase kits like those offered from Orbit that already include everything you need to create a drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden.
Instead of sprinklers, that probably aren't getting the root of plants watered, a drip irrigation system will ensure water is being delivered to the most important area while still conserving water and ultimately, save you money. Not only will a drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden get the job done most effectively, but some states even require them by law to help conserve water consumption.
The best part about a drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden is you don’t have to always be thinking about going outside to water the plants after a long day or when you are away on those much needed summer vacations. The irrigation system can take care of that part on its own so you can relax a little more or enjoy your time outdoors this summer.
If you’re ready to get started now’s the perfect time. The weather is starting to warm up and it's a great time to get those plants into the soil. Be sure to check out Sprinkler System Store for a large variety of drip irrigation products from full kits to adapters, timers and more for your watering needs.
