Why should you fertilize through your sprinklers?

Fertigation combines fertilization with irrigation to create a process that allows you to slowly deliver fertilizer to your entire landscape through your sprinkling system.  Slow fertilization is better for plants and has been used for over 30 years by farmers and commercial growers.  Fertigation has tremendous advantages over traditional methods of fertilization:

THE ADVANTAGES OF FERTIGATION

  • Slow & Uniform delivery of nutrients:  Plants respond better to smaller amounts of fertilizer delivered more frequently. 
     

  • Delivers fertilizer through water:  Plants absorb mineral nutrients (into roots and leaves) most efficiently through water.
     

  • Liquid Fertilizer is betterIt has been estimated that only 20% of granular fertilizers are actually utilized by plants.  The rest leaches out of the soil into ground water and contributes the accumulation of salts in the soil.  Fertigation with liquid fertilizer increases the uptake and availability of nutrients in the soil without the accumulation of salts and toxins in the soil.
     

  • No staining, burning or overexposure: With fertigation, there is no risk of overexposure, staining or burning because the nutrients are so diluted.
     

  • Less Water:  Fertigation stimulates deeper root development which increases the surface area for plants to absorb moisture and nutrients.   Consequently, plants become more resistant to drought.  With Fertile Earth, you'll use up to 30% less water.

  • Hardier Plants:  When nutrients are delivered slowly and consistently, plants develop better root systems and generally healthier and are more drought and disease resistant.

  • Ease and Convenience:  Fertigation take the hassle and labor expense out of fertilization because it requires only periodic replenishment of fertilizer.
