The right irrigation system for your plants

Spring is an exciting month for every passionate gardener; after long, cold months of winter, our gardens are starting to show promising signs of re-growth and reinvigoration. As we rejoice in seeing new life breathed into our outside spaces, it's important to think about how you're going to continue to care for them; with an intelligent, efficient and water-savvy system.

Why is watering so important in the spring: 

Spring marks the start of a very important phase within a plant’s growth cycle. Your plants need enough water to sprout new shoots and develop new buds, especially considering the extended periods of drought within the first few months of the year. Depending on the timing, these dry periods could be very damaging for your plants as they are especially dependent on water during their initial growth period. The amount of water a plant has access to during this period massively affects the plant’s future health and growth – which is why it is vital to provide your plants with just the right amount of water they need.

Follow these steps to check up on your irrigation systems:

It’s essential to check your irrigation systems come spring, to guarantee your plants receive the water they need:

Ensure your irrigation hose is in good condition and is long enough to reach all of your plants. Check all of the drip irrigation values, taking special care to clean them and remove any blockages.

A timely check-up ensures that your irrigation systems are always ready when you need them. Take this opportunity to consider if expanding your existing system could benefit your plants. By maintaining your irrigation system regularly, you be sure your plants receive the water they need, even during dry periods, helping them grow into your personal paradise over time.
