MANDATORY DRIP IRRIGATION: All gardeners must purchase a drip irrigation system for their garden plot by June 15, 2011. Drip irrigation is watering at a slow rate (or drip) right at the roots of plants. Root irrigation is a good water conservation choice because it provides a deeper level of watering than surface watering, which is prone to wastage due to evaporation and runoff. Drip irrigation can be purchased locally.
