This depends on a few factors like what type of plants you are purchasing or want to purchase, what soil type you have and if you’re able or are happy to hand water or not. Watering systems regulate your gardens watering requirements, making it easier to maintain the right level of moisture in your soil for your plants. You can have your whole garden or only parts of your garden set up to be watered whilst you are asleep or away on holiday, reducing the amount of manual labour you need to commit to the garden. Modern systems can monitor the amount of water you use and even reduce the amount you would ordinarily use if you hand watered. They can even be accessed and operated via mobile apps. So you can turn on your irrigation system in Melbourne while you’re away in Bali!
