In these economic times where "staycations" are a common way to spend a holiday, more people are putting their time and effort into making their homes and gardens more enjoyable. Hand watering is time consuming and it's frustrating when plants die. Sprinkler systems can waste water as it evaporates into the air before reaching the ground. Drip irrigation applies water directly to the soil where it trickles down to plant roots. By installing, or switching to, a drip system, home owners save money on water bills, reduce weed growth, and eliminate overspray onto cars and sidewalks.  

With over 30 drip kits for vegetable gardens, decks and patios, trees, roses,  raised beds, etc.,  consumers can easily find drip irrigation kits to meet their specific home garden needs. Gravity Feed Kits attach to a rain barrel or garbage can and use captured rain water.

All that is needed is a faucet or garden hose to connect to. "I am a weekend gardener and have been using your drip irrigation products with amazing results," says Irrigation Direct customer Olof Hult. "After removing the existing lawn, we now use only 20% of the household water relative to the first year with the old sprinklers."

According to California's Save Our Water Program, by choosing a water-efficient irrigation system such as drip irrigation, you can save up to 15 gallons each time you water.  "Most Californians think they waste more water indoors than outdoors, when exactly the opposite is true. Saving water needs to become a daily habit," says Mark Cowin, director of the California Department of Water Resources.

Bill Hayes, founder and president of Irrigation Direct states that, "Our mission is to provide extremely affordable drip irrigation products to consumers and contractors by manufacturing them and selling factory-direct online. Our drip watering kits come with more parts than Drip Works, Drip Depot and the Drip Store and cost less." Detailed instructions are included in each kit. Drip irrigation kits offered by Irrigation Direct include Container Drip Watering Kits, Vegetable Garden Watering Kits, Raised Bed Garden Kits, and Gravity Feed Kits.
