Rating of the best automatic irrigation systems

The purpose of using garden sprinklers is to provide sufficient watering to maintain soil moisture. This creates the conditions for obtaining the best harvest.

In its most general form, the structure includes a water supply pipe that is connected to a nozzle. Spraying takes place through it. But now there are many types of devices that give the best results, depending on the characteristics of the site and the requirements for the irrigation regime.

For example, if the lawn is heterogeneous in terms of relief and types of plantings, then it must be divided into several zones. Each of them has a separate type of sprinkler.

Structures can be retractable and non-retractable, have various methods of attachment: on pegs, tripods or directly on the ground. Each type has its own characteristics, scope, advantages and disadvantages.
