Everyone has heard of chard but how many of us are growing it? Chard (aka Swiss or Rainbow) is one of the most nutrient-rich vegetables (second only to spinach), and a gorgeous addition to any vegetable garden. Moderately rich, well drained soil forms the foundation from which this beautiful and delicious plant can be grown.
Summer is here and it's high time for vacations and weekend getaways! You're ready to throw on some sandals and head for the beach, or lace up your hiking boots for a trip to the great outdoors, either way summer is the perfect time to escape from our homes--and unfortunately from our gardens too! To help prepare for this moment, you bought a drip irrigation system to ensure your garden is well irrigated while away. You've spent precious time this spring setting up a garden and now, more than ever, it's vital to keep it healthy with the summer heat. To make sure your drip system is continuing to work hard while your away, we've put together some helpful tips to keep your system working flawlessly.
At Dripworks we grow a variety of flowers and veggies in order to show
customers what can be grown with Drip Irrigation. One of our favorite
veggies is the garlic we grow every year; Garlic is the perfect
crop to display inside our garden, as it is planted in October and harvested each June (see picture above). Now in our third season, we find growing
garlic with Drip Irrigation a snap, if given the right soil conditions and preparation.
Preparation
To prepare our garlic bed we utilize two of our wonderful products: Agribon and Emitter
Tubing (or Soaker Dripline). In the Fall and Winter months we cover the garlic bed withAgribon(a fabric that raises the temperature
by 4-6 degrees) in order to protect the plants from frost. The Agribon material
is supported by bent wire fencing inside the wooden beds, which makes a
"tunnel" shape to provide warmth and growth space for the garlic during colder
months.Loop Hoopsare another way to support Agribon. In
addition to using Agribon, each year we irrigate the garlic with ourEmitter Tubing, which delivers water directly to the roots of
each plant. Soaker Dripline also works very well. Together, these products are key to a successful harvest.
Summer is just around the corner and ensuring your plants are properly irrigated is more important than ever. Annually summer weather demands us to pay more attention to the health of our gardens or landscapes, and this year proves to be even more challenging with nearly half the country experiencing drought. According to the latest report by NOAA nearly 45% of the United States is experiencing drought-like conditions and there's speculation for the Pacific and Mid-West regions to see little improvement over the next three months. In order to combat these conditions and ensure your garden or landscape is properly irrigated, we would like to present you with some of our NEW Complete Drip Irrigation Kits to help you beat the drought!
First time drip irrigation users can get started quickly and easily with one of DripWorks' NEW Complete Irrigation Kits. Out NEW kits come with easy to follow instructions that will make the assembly and installation of your drip irrigation quick and painless. By adding a battery timer (take 10% off a timer using promo code TIMER10 when purchasing any of our available kits) your plants will thrive from direct irrigation on a precise watering schedule. At last, you'll have time to relax and enjoy your garden!
At DripWorks we're passionate about creating beauty and bounty through gardening. Drip irrigation allows one to grow high quality foods, beautiful flowers, and decorative plants, while lowering our water bill and saving precious time.
Soaker Dripline is one of DripWorks' all-time favorite product.
Soaker Driplineis a Dripworks' favorite! We love using Soaker Dripline and think you will too! We recommend Soaker Dripline because it's easy to use and immensely versatile. We use it in our raised vegetable garden beds, both at home and in the demo garden here at DripWorks. Soaker Dripline is perfect for irrigating small plots such as flower and
strawberry beds, and works great inside containers on patios or along walkways (due to its incredible flexibility). Compliment your drip system with a Battery Timer, and you'll be able to automate your garden's irrigation needs to achieve reliable results wherever you grow.

Then use an Easy Loc coupler or Easy Loc Tee to increase the size of your irrigation system. Always get a few extras for expanding your drip system in the future--you can even reuse them!
