Drip watering systems are tremendous for home hardeners. They cut water consumption by onehalf or more – a big advantage with the rising cost of water.
Drip systems range from the very simple and inexpensive, to complex systems costing hundreds.

There is no water runoff or evaporation, which can account for up to 50 percent of water loss with sprinkler systems.
