When you pull the hose out you are wasting litres of water! Most of the water will simply run off the hard and dry soil and only a very small proportion will make it to the root system. With a drip line irrigation pipe installed into your flower beds working from a timer, the plants will be watered little and often, keeping the soil moisture level consistent with what a plant needs to grow to its full potential.
Another great point to consider is, an irrigation system will keep your garden alive whilst you are away or on holiday. No need to rely on your friends or family to come in and water the plants every day, your irrigation system will do all the hard work for you. Instead of returning to a tired, wilting garden and bald brown patches on your lawn, requiring urgent remedial work, you can return to a garden that has actually developed and flourished in your absence.
Here are some autumn gardening suggestions to help you make the most of the season.
Our gardens are fast becoming multifunctional spaces, they play a different role for every member of the family. Garden zoning can turn your garden from a one-dimensional space, into a series of beautiful outdoor rooms – from relaxing places to lounge, to children's play areas and more.
