Five Compelling Reasons to Use Deep Root Watering Devices in Your Garden

Deep root watering devices are different from conventional water systems. They deliver water deep down into the soil, closer to the roots. Many people tend to dismiss them as fancy devices that serve very little purpose. However, here are five compelling reasons why your garden needs them.

1 - Deep root watering devices promote healthy plants

When plants are watered at the surface level of the soil, they tend to grow shallow roots. Such roots are not healthy for the plants because when dry spells occur, they cannot draw water from deep within the soil. So, during droughts or extreme summer with very high temperatures, these plants tend to wilt and die very quickly. A deep root irrigation system prevents this by delivering water deep down into the soil. This helps the plants run their roots deeper, and grow healthier.

2 - They help conserve water

In regular irrigation methods, much of the water sprayed on the plants or the soil gets evaporated quickly. On uneven or sloped surfaces, it results in runoff and soil erosion. A deep root watering device prevents this trouble by seeping deep into the soil and not running off downhill. Also, since no water is lost through evaporation, such devices bring down the frequency of watering needs, helping conserve water.

3 - The devices are capable of multitasking

Deep root watering devices aren’t just irrigation aids. They are multitaskers capable of delivering fertilizers, and other nutrient-rich content directly into the soil. When liquid manure reaches ‘feeder’ roots in the soil, the plants are able to increase their nutrient intake manifold. This helps them grow lusher, better, and healthier.

4 - They are easy to install and use

Deep root watering devices are simple and easy to use. Their installation is far form complex, and they can be used to irrigate garden plants, shrubs, flowering bushes, fruit-bearing trees, decorative plants, and so on. In smaller sizes, these root irrigators are capable of watering even indoor plants. In larger sizes, and in multiple numbers, they can be used to irrigate trees grown in orchards, parks, landscape etc. The devices simply are inserted into the soil next to the plant. They are then connected to a drip emitter or garden hose that supplies water. Some irrigators are even designed for manual watering, especially ones used for indoor plants or those grown in pots.

5 - They can serve as patio container decor

Though many deep root watering devices have basic designs that stay inconspicuous in a garden setting, newer ones carry more impressive designs and clever styling that gives them a beautiful edge. For example, flower-shaped deep root watering devices can be used as décor for patio containers and pots, or can be placed alongside flowering plants and shrubs in a garden.

In addition to these, newer variants of these devices allow collection of rain water and measurement of the quantity of water added to the device. Such features make deep root watering devices an extremely useful addition to any garden.
