subject: It's a Small World After All – Micro Irrigation for Massive Savings [print this page] How? How can a watering system (and a cheap one at that) be so effective that it doesn't need all the attrition associated with the normal "carpet bombing" approach to garden watering? Simple. Remember we said this was all based on an easy idea? Well, try this on for size. Micro irrigation uses the childishly clever idea of running tiny pipes right up to the roots of each plant in the garden, and dropping (literally the water comes out in drops) water right where it's needed. Easy, when you know how. All that waste, gone and only the good stuff remaining. If everyone did that, we'd never have a water shortage again.
