How to irrigate responsibly without wasting water

There are a number of different irrigation systems for watering your garden, some of which are more efficient and environmentally friendly than others. For example, drip irrigation or micro-irrigation are systems that deliver water directly to the roots of plants, avoiding waste and leakage. Some useful solutions can be FITT Ecodrop, a microporous hose for drip irrigation, and the FITT Sprizzy and FITT Pluvio hoses, suitable for both jet and drip irrigation. On the other hand, sprinklers or nozzles distribute water evenly over the entire surface, but can cause excessive evaporation or run-off from the soil. If you use these systems, adjust the pressure and direction of the water well to avoid wetting leaves or non-green areas.

Garden hoses are essential tools for watering your garden, but they can also be a source of waste and pollution if they break or are easily damaged. To avoid having to replace them often, choose high-quality, durable and repairable garden hoses. A good example is FITT Freel, the compact hose reel with the innovative FITT Force hose, which is 2 times lighter and 3 times more compact than a conventional hose. Easy to repair, thanks to the universal fittings supplied, it has a reinforced structure that makes it resistant to twists, bending and abrasion, ensuring a long service life.
