Drip Irrigation, Soaker
Hose and Mist Products from MrDrip!
Drip irrigation is the most
efficient method of irrigation today. Drip irrigation (sometimes referred to
as micro irrigation,
low-flow irrigation, or trickle irrigation) is the slow and precise delivery
of water directly to the plant roots. Drip irrigation is controlled either
by hand or automatic timer. Because drip irrigation is applied at the root
zone, it maintains an optimum moisture level in the soil at all times
resulting in less water lost to evaporation and wind.
Soaker
hose is actually the grandfather
of the drip irrigation system. MrSoakerHose Bulk Soaker Hose is made almost
from 100% recycled materials, 50% from recycled tires and almost 50%
recycled polyethylene products that are re-pelletized for use in the
process, here in the USA.
When you attach a
soaker to a regular hose and turn on the water supply, water seeps in
sweat-like beads from the hose along its entire length. Soaker hose if used
properly can help us conserve water and at the same time enjoy beautiful
flower gardens, trees as well as great tasting home-grown fruits and
vegetables.
Mist Systems work
by forcing water through a brass and stainless steel mist nozzle producing a
micro-fine mist. The
water
droplets that create the mist are so small, about one-half the diameter of a
strand of hair, that they instantly flash evaporate. This flash evaporation
can reduce the surrounding air as much as 35 degrees in just seconds.
The mist is so fine that it quickly
evaporates to create the cooling effect.
