Why Let your Garden Dry Out

Why Let your Garden Dry Out – When a Low-Cost Water Irrigation System can Cost Less than £60

Although water irrigation systems are widely used overseas UK gardeners and landscapers have taken a little longer to discover the many benefits they offer. With the arrival of a number of new low-cost and efficient systems designed for DIY installation, irrigation systems are now set to become a great way to save time, energy and money in the garden.

Blue Skies Water Systems is one the country's leading suppliers of water irrigation systems and has seen a marked uptake in systems over the past year from both the DIY market and professional landscapers alike. In the past there has been a common misconception that irrigation is an expensive luxury but today there are kits available for under £60. With a battery operated timer the unit is perfectly safe and suitable for gardens where children and pets will play. Being fully automatic, the system takes care of watering the lawn, plants and shrubs at the same time every day without the need for a gardener's involvement, nor favours from neighbours while away on holiday.

Blue Skies Water Systems provide a full range of irrigation systems including micro-irrigation for borders, flowerbeds, greenhouses and vegetable gardens, and drippers for hanging baskets, tubs and flower pots. Also available are pop-up sprinklers and free standing water sprinklers for lawns.

Micro irrigation systems drip-irrigate only where it is needed, such as the rootball of a plant. This also means that weeds are not watered at all. By setting the timer to water at night, water evaporation decreases by up to 70%, thereby saving a considerable amount on your water bill.

Apart from the time and money saved by installing an irrigation system, another important bonus is that by watering regularly and evenly plants are encouraged to grow healthily and bigger – in fact, plants can grow up to 49% faster and with up to 84% higher yields.

All systems are easily connected to an outdoor tap and are expandable should you decide to increase the size of your garden.

Blue Skies Water Systems have also recently introduced a range of water butts which are designed to be entirely compatible with their irrigation products as well as a number of solar irrigation systems which use natural daylight to pump water around the garden from a water butt.

Solar powered irrigation

Blue Skies Water Systems -

The Heliomatic 130 waters automatically every 3 hours. The amount applied depends on 2 things - how much sunshine there has been and the position of the control knob. The pump can be set up to water large or small plants, but will always apply more water in sunnier conditions. 

The pump can supply up to 40 drippers or 5m of drip -line and is suitable for beds, baskets, row crops, pots, grow bags, specimen plants and tree establishment. 

Irrigation kit supplied provides enough water for 5 large hanging baskets or 40 5 litre pots. 
The water wand automatically waters your plants when you are not there and during the driest spells. Easily fitted and completely safe – use it anywhere in the garden – no mains power or mains water required. 

Hose pipe ban? – Not with the Waterwand. You can harvest rainwater in a water butt or tank and use it without restriction through hosepipe bans. But plan ahead, you need the storage capacity in place while it rains so the water is there when you need it. 

Positioning. – It needs to be in a sunny place, but can be some distance from the water source, self primes up to 2 metres above it and will not siphon even if the pump and drips are below the water level. 

Better plants – Rainwater is widely recognized as the best source of water for irrigation. For even better plants add a soluble fertilizer to you water but.

Garden watering dripline

The concept of drip watering is the slow, regular delivery of water directly to the root zone of your plants, keeping the root zone moist, but never saturated. Your plants receive the ideal amount of water at the ideal rate.
They also retain their proper air and water balance and avoid the stress and shock of the "drench and dry out" cycle associated with conventional watering methods. This results in optimum growth and healthy plants.

Success with a drip watering system is dependent on two basic goals that are not simple to attain:

1.Provide uniform flow from each individual dripper, regardless of water temperature or supply pressure.

2.Insure that drippers remain clog-free.

Many drip equipment manufacturers claim these benefits, but only a RAINDRIP system meets this challenge.
