Towards a more responsible garden with water consumption

It remains the most typical, the irrigation hose of manually even if you start to notice the consciousness to the environment and especially with water scarcity. For this reason, environmental awareness or even more technical issues, such as the low pressure and flow which often have many households located in complicated areas, has increased the demand for irrigation by drip and micro aspersion.

In this process we are now and the companies that we work for the care of the garden must meet the new demands of the public seeking comfort and economy. Comfort because watering hose requires a time that we not and in fact, is already observed that a growing family of automation, developers, and economy, to the extent that many people are encouraged to install an irrigation system even if it means a small initial investment.

Relating to the performance of each of the systems, increasingly is attempted by manufacturers take care of the aesthetic in the development of products. At the moment it looks more economy and comfort than the aesthetic and if you do without one, the first to fall almost always will be the aesthetics. There are many examples in this regard. If we assemble an irrigation drip for a few rosales, we can put the pipe to ground level and click drippers each rose one or, burying the pipeline, remove branches of micro-tubería and put a dropper in the tip. In this case the user looks first at the price; then, if it is feasible to make the ditch to pass the pipe and finally, see if there is more or less aesthetic.

We have the automatism of the buried irrigation or drip because although we have a great system, with low flow sprinkler, we need to know the time of irrigation required by each plant. And that without taking into account that in addition to the characteristics of the plants to know the more advisable to each area, in Spain there are many climatic differences, and therefore there will be some that we can afford, but others will be virtually impossible to maintain.

Here also can be illustrated with another case that we may be familiar to all. We have a garden with lawn in a very dry zone, with a system of buried irrigation water comfortably and schedule twice a day for 30 minutes. This option saves water, but quite the contrary: are spending twice what they truly need.

It is here where we want to educate people and we must insist on the importance of knowing the needs of the plants and maintenance required depending on the climatology of the place.

Finally, also you can stand out another of the families that are in progress as irrigation pumps. They constitute a solution in the case have the opportunity to use a well or poll and even for use in the home and it will be recalled that groundwater is quite abundant and many times are hardly used.

In short, there are many systems that are already moving in one direction and secure that in the next few years, the companies who work in this sector incorporate new products that allow a more careful garden but at the same time much more sensitive to the environment and water consumption. In this case less is more. Much less water is much more garden.
