MICRO IRRIGATION
FOR TODAY’S LANDSCAPES
Fixed or Adjustable Micro Watering
Devices – that is the question
for micro irrigation for today’s
Landscapes
Today’s landscape gardens are as
diverse and individual as the UK’s
landscape itself. Micro irrigation in
the form of drip and low volume
micro spray is seen as an effective
irrigation method to maintain and
grow these landscape gardens.
Sometimes as irrigation
professionals we focus on
commercial outcomes for landscape
gardens which may not be an ideal
solution. A point in question is the
use of fixed volume drippers either
standard or pressure compensating
exclusively in a landscape
garden. Plants in a landscape
garden are varying by size, type
and subsequently their water
usage, whereas in a commercial
horticultural application such as
a vineyard or orchard the plant
variation is less and uniform
watering is the prime driver. It
makes sense to provide precise and
uniform amounts of water to these
commercial enterprises.
For the landscapers however
flexibility in their watering systems
can be required and therefore
adjustable watering devices are
popular.
