{"product_id":"drip-watering-starter-kit-10-plants","title":"Drip Watering Starter Kit, Waters up to 10 Plants, 100ft Tubing, Tap Connector","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand watering pots and beds every evening in summer takes time, and much of the water runs off or evaporates before roots can use it. A drip watering system puts water exactly where it is needed, slowly, at the base of each plant. This drip watering starter kit connects to an outdoor tap with a BSP quick-connect fitting and comes with 100ft (about 30.5m) of ¼\" (6.35mm) tubing and drip emitters rated at 1 gallon per hour, enough to water up to 10 plants. Installation is tool-free. The supplier states it uses up to 70% less water than traditional hand watering. Gardeners, allotment holders and landscapers use it for containers, flower boxes, patio plants, vegetable gardens, young trees and landscaped areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWater goes to the roots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach emitter drips slowly at the base of a plant, so water soaks into the root zone instead of wetting leaves, paths and bare soil. That reduces runoff and evaporation and helps keep foliage dry, which plants such as tomatoes prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUses up to 70% less water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause water is applied slowly and precisely, the supplier states the kit uses up to 70% less water than hand watering.
