Pitcher Perfect Irrigation for Smallholders
Published by Bernie Omodei, Owner at Measured Irrigation in Technology
The key features of Pitcher Perfect Irrigation are:
· Unpowered
· Very low cost and simple to install
· Uses less water than any other irrigation system
· Irrigate an unlimited range of crops at the same time
· Water usage responds to changes in weather and crop needs
If you can afford a float valve, you can leave your garden unattended for months on end. A smallholder will have time for other acticities such as travelling to the market to sell or exchange their produce.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments.
