Deep Root Watering
Deep root watering is an irrigation technique that delivers water to the roots of plants, rather than just the topsoil. Deep root watering helps to promote deep rooting, which makes plants more drought tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases.
Benefits of Deep Root Watering:
There are several benefits to deep root watering:
- It helps plants to develop deep roots, which makes them more drought tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases.
- It can help to improve the quality of the soil by increasing the water infiltration rate and reducing erosion.
- It can help to reduce the amount of water used for irrigation.
- It can help to improve the appearance of plants by making them greener and healthier.
