Irrigation systems

Irrigation System: Smart Watering

An irrigation system provides automatic and even watering for your future food or beautiful flowers. This is not only convenient during dry summers, but also ideal for those who are often away. Thanks to automatic watering, you no longer have to rely on neighbors to water your plants while on vacation. The system usually consists of hoses and drip emitters that you place between your plants. Sprinklers are less common in vegetable gardens because they dispense water onto the foliage, which isn't always desirable. Connected to a tap, possibly with a timer, the irrigation system automatically waters the plants and operates completely independently.

A good irrigation system is truly essential if you want to maintain a beautiful green garden, a tasty vegetable patch, or a cozy greenhouse. Your plants and vegetables simply need regular water to grow well and stay healthy. By installing a convenient irrigation system, you ensure that each plant gets exactly what it needs, without wasting water. Whether you have a small city garden, a thriving vegetable patch, or a greenhouse full of delicious vegetables, a good irrigation system makes watering a lot easier and more convenient. In this article, we'll show you the advantages of different irrigation systems and provide practical tips for installing a system that's perfect for your garden.

Avoid that growth stop

Just like people, plants also have a growth cycle: seed, sprout, seedling, young plant, and then a mature plant that produces seed. This cycle doesn't apply to all plants, but you get the picture. A plant without water goes into stress mode, stops growing, and if you don't catch it in time, it dies. Even if your plant survives, the stunted growth has caused irreparable damage, not to mention the delay in cultivation. Since I installed my irrigation system in the garden, I've actually harvested more food. Along with mulch, it's the most impactful decision I've made in my vegetable garden in the past 10 years. You cut everything to size once, lay it on the bare ground, sow seeds alongside it, and once the plant is larger, you mulch between the plants to suppress weeds and, yes, "reduce water evaporation." This way, you can really conserve your available water. If you water your plants with a watering can, it often washes away, and only a fraction reaches the roots. If you're still unsure, don't do it :)

Drip irrigation, targeted and efficient

Drip irrigation is the most efficient form of garden watering. The water drips slowly and precisely to the roots, without waste or evaporation. This is especially suitable for vegetable beds, borders, greenhouse plants, flower beds, and flowers. You can easily install it yourself and adjust it to the size of your garden.

Garden irrigation system, tailor-made for every situation

Every garden irrigation system is adaptable to your individual needs. A simple drip system works well for small gardens. Larger gardens sometimes require multiple zones or automatic sensors; for example, the system can be expanded with a soil moisture or weather sensor to automatically adjust the watering.

Use a filter and pressure regulator to maintain consistent, clean water pressure. Pay attention to the correct flow rate and system reach, so the water effectively reaches all plants, even at greater distances or heights.

When connecting multiple zones or components, a good connection between the various components is essential for efficient water distribution and to prevent waste.

Garden irrigation system, also for pots

A garden irrigation system isn't just for open ground. You can also use it to regularly water pots, containers, and raised beds. You can connect small drip emitters to a main line to keep your plants perfectly hydrated. You can also use a soaker hose or other hose to efficiently water pots and containers.

Irrigation system garden, without waste

A well-configured irrigation system for your garden is sustainable. The system automatically and precisely delivers water to your plants, ensuring optimal watering and reducing waste. The water goes exactly where it's needed. You can switch the irrigation system on or off in an instant for quick watering. You save water, prevent leaf burn, and maintain a healthy soil structure. Combine it with mulch or ground cover for even better results.

Irrigation system, time saving and convenience

An automatic watering system saves time and effort. Set the system to your schedule, for example, morning or evening. You can easily control the system via an app or manually, so you're always in control. You don't have to worry even during vacations. Some systems are even linked to weather forecasts or humidity sensors. You can also integrate a pump into the automatic watering system, so your plants always get water at the right time.

Drip irrigation system, easy to install

A drip irrigation system consists of a main line, distribution hoses, and drip emitters, and can easily be expanded with a garden hose for extended reach or as a supplement to the drip lines. For installation, you'll need the following components: main line, distribution hoses, drip emitters, connectors, and possibly a garden hose. Everything is easily assembled with standard connectors. Clear instructions are provided, including illustrations, so you can install the system yourself step by step. The system is modular, so you can easily expand it as your garden grows or changes.

Drip irrigation system, popular in the vegetable garden

A drip irrigation system is widely used in organic horticulture. This sustainable and reliable product limits weed growth, conserves water, and provides plants, flowers, and shrubs with exactly what they need. Thanks to the irrigation system, you no longer need a watering can to water your plants. Your vegetables grow more evenly, with less disease or stress.

Drip irrigation system, reliable and durable

A good drip irrigation system will last for years. Check annually for blockages or leaks; sensors allow you to easily monitor the system for these problems. Some systems emit an audible alarm as a warning when the water reservoir is almost empty, allowing you to refill it promptly. The system also takes the amount of sunlight into account and automatically adjusts the watering rate based on the amount of sunlight. Replace parts as needed and store your system in a frost-free place during the winter.

Sustainable energy for irrigation systems

You probably know the feeling: you're standing in the garden with the hose and think, "This is taking forever, and what a waste of water!" That's why more and more of us are opting for smart solutions, like irrigation systems that run solely on sunlight. With a drip irrigation system, you can water your plants the way they prefer: gently dripping at their roots, so everyone gets exactly what they need. It's ideal for raised beds or large gardens where watering by hand becomes a chore. Modern systems, like the Sol-C180 solar irrigation system (sounds technical, but it's actually quite handy), use solar energy to pump water around and can move up to 180 liters per hour – that's pretty impressive! This way, your garden will always be well-watered, even on those hot summer days or when you finally go on vacation. You simply connect it to your tap, and you're done. With the right tools and clear instructions, installing and maintaining such a system is actually quite simple and quick. This way you combine convenience with care for nature and you get a healthy, cheerful garden that you can be proud of.
