You save water, and your plants get exactly the right amount of water. It is ideal for raised beds, buckets, potted plants, and flower boxes. With micro-irrigation, weeds are also kept away because only the desired plants receive water.

These methods are suitable for raised beds, flowerbeds, buckets, pots, and perennials. You can choose the method that best suits your plants.
