Hello World! Welcome Friends! Your lawn and other plants require water to survive. There are different ways to cater to this need. The most common and widely used system of irrigating a lawn or garden is surface irrigation. All it requires is a water source, a hosepipe and your time. This type of irrigation involves watering the area and allowing the water to leach into the soil. However, this system is not only laborious and time-consuming; it is also wasteful in terms of water used and inefficient in terms of the plants receiving the required quantity of water. While some areas would receive excess water, there will be areas that receive less. This will affect the health and vigor of your garden as the plants will not be able to develop deep roots. Fortunately, there are sprinkler irrigation systems available that can take care of this chore and do it efficiently.
