Micro irrigation is the ultimate in being able to supply calibrated irrigation in the garden.Water is delivered directly to the plants root zone with minimal waste. Micro irrigation operates at extremely low water pressure making it ideal for watering areas in poor pressure areas or ones a distance from the tap. Although they deliver lower volumes of water per hour than their bigger mains fed cousins, they have the advantage that they can generally operate on much lower pressures and they can accurately target the water resulting in lower loses. There are drippers and micro sprinklers for most situations and using the right one will further reduce waste and target the intended plants. In many cases a Starter set is a good way to create a new micro irrigation system, purchasing the additional parts to extend it.
