Title: Determine your Soil Type:
Author: Drip Depot Staff
The majority of drip irrigation installation experts agree that before installing any drip irrigation system a person should find out what kind of soil they have. Soil type greatly influences how water penetrates and travels to your plants roots. There are 3 soil types: Clay, Loam and Sand. Clay soils are tightly packed and water does not penetrate quickly into the soil. The result being water accumulating on the surface near the plant and never reaching a plants roots. Sandy soil experiences the quickest water penetration rate. A slow drip emitter may be ideal for plants found in a clay soil, however, that same dripper may be a poor choice for plants found in sandy soil.
