Netafirm USA Educating Community to Conserve Water

Netafim USA has teamed up with The Gardener Guy, Paul James, to expand homeowner knowledge of the many benefits of drip irrigation when it comes to maintaining a beautiful landscape with limited water availability

Available at www.NetafimUSA.com/savewater, the videos feature Paul James, Master Gardener and former host of  HGTV’s Gardening by the Yard , explaining how homeowners can significantly reduce their outdoor water use without the need for a radical landscape transformation simply by converting areas that are watered by sprinklers into more efficient drip irrigation zones.

“The more I travel the country and talk to people about their lawn and gardens, the more I see that many common problems such as water waste, disease and pests are the result of using sprinklers in areas better suited for drip,” said James. “Previously used primarily in non-turf areas, drip irrigation is now being used as an extremely efficient way to water grassy areas by using drip tubing that is specially designed to be used below the lawn’s surface. Subsurface drip irrigation (driplines buried below the surface) reduces water use by up to 70% when compared to sprinklers, making it very difficult to justify the continued use of antiquated water-wasting sprinklers.”

Each of these short videos are designed to be primers for homeowners looking for information on the process of converting planter beds to drip irrigation as well as preserving their lawns with the installation of subsurface drip irrigation in turf areas.

The videos also answer some of the most common questions homeowners have about above and below-ground drip irrigation and dispel many of the common misconceptions about installation, maintenance and the efficiency of drip systems.
