It’s been very interesting learning more about automated watering. Aside from the relatively high cost of setting up (compared to your trusty old watering can!) there’s potentially some great benefits. More controlled watering delivered directly to the roots will reduce water wastage through evaporation or inaccurate watering practices. Of course saving water is vitally important in following sustainable gardening practices, but if you’re on a metered supply it will save you money too. Regular and consistent watering helps plants establish healthy root systems which will be more effective in taking up nutrients, and the whole plant will maintain better cellular health giving greater resistance to diseases and from adverse temperatures. The system seems really flexible with a timer and pipes that can be easily cut and joined so they deliver the water exactly where and when you need it. Something for your Christmas gift list?
