How much water does a Polytunnel need??
Automatic watering systems in a polytunnel are quite different from watering an outdoor garden. For one, the interior of a polytunnel means less water evaporation so instead of watering your plants every single day, it is more beneficial to give your polytunnel a good soaking once or twice a week and less in winter. However, this will depend on the heat of the day and the types of crops you have growing in your polytunnel.
Manual Water Irrigation Systems vs Automatic Water Irrigation Systems
Manual irrigation involves grabbing a garden hose or watering can and manually watering your plants. This is fine for small polytunnels but it can be incredibly time-consuming in commercial ones. Manual irrigation allows you to monitor how much water your plants are getting as you can see how much water is being delivered and soaked into the soil.
Automatic irrigation is ideal for larger or commercial polytunnels where it simply isn’t practical to water manually. The water irrigation systems can either be turned on or set to a timer. These types of watering and irrigation systems are perfect for drip irrigation systems and soaker hose systems.
Why buy a Garden Irrigation System?
If you’ve ever tried to water a commercial polytunnel with a garden hose, you know how time-consuming this task can be. Investing in an irrigation system ensures the crops in your polytunnel can be watered efficiently and you can use your time for other tasks. The best aspect of an irrigation system is that it can be set to a timer which is perfect if you go on holiday or if you have multiple polytunnels to water, so a garden automatic water system might be the right move for you. Our irrigation systems and watering systems are trusted by home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
