De-Mystifying Micro-Irrigation

Plants need water. We all know that. But how much and how it is delivered is also crucial to fast growing vegetables. Micro irrigation is a smart and efficient way to water a vegetable garden because it delivers water directly to the root zone. In places like SW Florida, where conserving water is especially important, this method makes gardening both sustainable and cost-effective.

Because water supplies the roots directly, micro irrigation supports healthier plants and better yields. The soil stays at the right level of moisture without the stress of drying out or becoming waterlogged. Roots develop stronger, taking up nutrients more effectively. The risk of leaf and fruit fungal diseases drops because leaves and fruit remain dry.

Micro-irrigation saves time and effort for gardeners. David Outerbridge leads this seminar to de-mystify different types of micro-irrigation systems to help you learn how to install them in your garden.
