Drip irrigation is one of the newer methods of irrigation.
Drip irrigation provides each plant with near-optimal soil moisture.
This method of irrigation can be automated as easily as a lawn-sprinkling system. They also sell by the foot for emitter hose products. Drip irrigation is popular because it can increase yields and decrease both water requirements and labor. The concept behind drip irrigation is to provide the plant with continuous, near-optimal soil moisture. This is accomplished by conducting water directly to individual plants instead of providing water to the entire Garden area, as with flood or sprinkler irrigation.
