Trending Techniques - Including Drip Irrigation

Thanks to the efforts made by our donors we were able to install a (insert hose company hyper link) drip irrigation system in both our indoor green house and outdoor garden.

How the drip hose system works is first you need to connect the main hose to your main water outlet. Then, once you turn, it on water will flow through out the hosing channels that you have placed throughout your garden bed. The water will 'drip' from

the tubing of the hoes into your garden, making sure water gets to the roots of the plant. The irrigation system helps to evenly water all the vegetables in your garden, and helps to eliminate the wasted water created by other watering options. The drip irrigation allows the farm to also saves on manpower and time.The hoses portability, make for easy removal while we plant new produce. They have proven to be weather resistant, effect and efficient.

Other current trends in the farm and garden industry in include:
