Drip irrigation of tomatoes: advantages and benefits of use

Every living thing on this planet simply needs water; without it, living organisms cannot live for even a few days. Residents in garden beds especially need watering, because it provides them with adequate nutrition and growth.

Traditional irrigation - sprinkling, furrow or flood irrigation - very often lead to negative consequences, especially for such a fastidious plant as a tomato. This is why gardeners recommend drip irrigation of tomatoes. This method ensures timely supply of water to plants, the amount they need, and also serves as an obstacle to fungal diseases. After such watering, the soil near the roots of the plants does not become crusty and the roots breathe freely. With this watering system, the foliage remains dry and the fruits practically do not rot.

Drip watering of tomatoes is carried out exactly at the root of the tomato using a special device, which is not at all difficult to do at home. To do this, you will need a water supply source, a drip irrigation tape, a disc filter, a pressure regulator, a pipe for the distribution pipeline, fittings and taps and other peripherals for attaching all these parts. Of course, the detailed description of the manufacture of a drip irrigation system is quite voluminous and complex, but the result will exceed all expectations.

In addition, the drip irrigation system is used not only for watering, but also for organic fertilizer of tomatoes.In order for the irrigation system to be used for fertilizer, a special tank is connected under it, where fertilizers are actually poured.
