Did you know that drip irrigation can save up to 70% of water compared to more conventional techniques, like sprinklers and sprays? Drip irrigation reduces water loss from evaporation and runoff by accurately delivering water to the plant’s root zone.

The Micro Drip System (MDS) from GARDENA offers a quick and easy way to set up your own vegetable or herb garden drip scheme. It takes the irritation out of irrigation with innovative components that clip together and peg into the ground. This watering range guarantees healthy plant growth and cuts down on water waste.

Advantages of drip irrigation

The biggest benefit of drip irrigation is water conservation. By delivering water straight to the roots of the plants, drip schemes reduce water loss from runoff and evaporation. In addition, precise and regular watering encourages nutrient uptake and healthy root growth.

Drip irrigation also inhibits weed development by reducing moisture in the surrounding areas. This targeted water delivery is highly effective and ensures that only the vegetables, herbs and flowers receive the intended water. 

GARDENA’s MDS offers flexible designs so you can modify your irrigation system to fit your unique garden layout. The modular design also lends itself to various starter kits, whereby you can purchase a box of all the nozzles, connectors and hoses you need for your balcony flowers, vegetable patch or herb gardens.

  • A pressure reducer to maintain ideal flow.
  • A water distributor to send water to several outlets in an equitable manner.
  • Enough drip line to cover your 40m2 area. 
  • Nozzles which you can place at the base of each plant.
  • Drip spikes which attach to the drip line to keep it in place.
  • End caps and T-pieces let you personalise your irrigation design.

Simple installation and maintenance

The MDS is simple to install and maintain thanks to GARDENA’s unique designs. You can quickly set up your irrigation system with simple instructions and easy-to-use parts. As your garden develops and evolves, the system is very simple to change and expand.

To avoid clogging the drip nozzles, use clean, filtered water. Remember to examine your irrigation system regularly for wear and tear, leaks, and kinks in the pipeline. To avoid overwatering and maximise watering schedules, think about using soil moisture sensors. What’s more, mulching the area around your plants will help control soil temperature, inhibit weed growth, and conserve moisture.
