If you’re still using spray heads for your shrubs and perennials… it might be time for an upgrade. 🌿💧
Drip irrigation is the unsung hero of plant care, and here’s why it beats spray heads hands-down:

1️⃣ No overspray on walls and fences.
Spray heads often throw water where it’s not needed—onto stucco, wood fences, sidewalks, you name it. Not only is that wasteful, but it can cause staining, rot, or mildew over time. Drip puts the water exactly at the base of your plants where it belongs.

2️⃣ Less weeds.
When spray heads blanket the entire planting area, they end up watering the bare soil between plants… which is basically a VIP invitation for weeds. Drip keeps moisture focused on your plants’ root zones, making life a whole lot harder for unwanted guests.

3️⃣ Deeper percolation = healthier plants.
With drip, water is applied slowly and steadily, giving it time to soak deep into the soil. That means stronger, deeper roots, which help plants handle heat and drought like champs. No more shallow, thirsty roots!

4️⃣ Easier to repair.
When a spray head breaks, you’re digging, replacing, and re-leveling. Drip repairs? Usually as simple as swapping a fitting or replacing a small section of tubing—minimal mess, minimal stress.

5️⃣ Saves a ton of water!
Spray heads lose water to evaporation, wind drift, and runoff. Drip delivers water right to the roots, with very little waste. It’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make to cut your water bill and be more eco-friendly at the same time.

💡 Bottom line: Drip systems are efficient, plant-friendly, and easy to live with. Your plants will love them, your water bill will love them, and you’ll love how low-maintenance they are.

Stay Rooted😎
