Buying Advice

Watering Tools & Irrigation Buying Guide

πŸ’§ Water Early

Water in the early morning (6-10 AM). Evening watering promotes fungal growth. Midday watering wastes 30% to evaporation.

πŸ“ Drip vs. Sprinkler

Drip irrigation uses 50% less water than sprinklers and delivers water directly to roots. Worth the setup time for vegetable gardens.
