What are some different methods of watering container plants? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of each?
What will be an ideal response?
Different methods of watering container plants include by hand, by trickle tube, by
overhead irrigation (sprinklers), and with a capillary mat under the containers (for
bench growing). Hand watering is appropriate for small operations or for spot watering,
but is too costly for general use. Trickle tube systems are the most efficient in saving
water, but expensive to install. Rodents also tend to chew the tubes. Overhead irrigation
is cheaper to install and operate than trickle tube, but requires more water to do the
same job because some water is lost between containers or through evaporation. A
capillary mat under the containers is only used for bench growing, so it has a limited
application.
