Artificial irrigation is used not only in large fields to be able to grow crops that need stable soil moisture. Even a garden in a personal plot needs an irrigation system. Correctly selected fittings for irrigation fog will not only save water, but also provide a stable harvest of any garden crops in summer and autumn.
How it works and what it consists of
In order for the system to work, it is first necessary to lay a pipe line to deliver water to the nozzles. It is they who will spray water to a state of minimal droplets that can penetrate into the soil to the required depth. Before proceeding with the installation, you need to stock up on the following materials:
- Plastic or classic tube.
- Adapters that allow you to connect the system to a tank, pump or water supply.
- Connecting fittings and special nozzle heads
- Additional stoppers to prevent water from escaping in areas where it is not needed.
Important: the better the pipe, fittings and other irrigation components, the more reliable the system as a whole will be. Irrigation will be able to serve for more than one season, fully paying for its installation on a site of almost any area.
The benefits of fogging
The main competitor of the new type of irrigation is drip irrigation. But, the method has its own merits. The most important are the following advantages:
- there will never be mud and puddles in the garden;
- easy construction and minimal maintenance;
- one of the best economic indicators;
- does not restrict the addition of fertilizers during plant growth;
- helps to keep the soil in its usual structure;
- natural moisture to the optimum soil depth.
The most important advantage of the system is that it does not wash out the fertile soil layer. He does not tend to drain along with excess water. The water that gets on the leaves of plants prevents them from getting excessive overheating in direct sunlight. The liquid washes away insect larvae, preventing them from developing normally on cultivated plants. Installed fog nozzles significantly reduce the cost and time for caring for a vegetable garden or a large area. Special filters will prevent debris from clogging the outlet. Permanently damaging or damaging the mist spray nozzle.
