Proper irrigation is the foundation for a healthy and blooming garden.
Here are irrigation tips from MIYO:
- Water like nature: deeply, but less often and irregularly. This stimulates root growth and helps plants become strong and resistant to drought.
- When is the best time to water? If you water early in the morning before it gets too hot, you reduce water loss through evaporation. The afternoon is also an option. Avoid watering in the evening or at night, as prolonged moisture on leaves can promote the growth of fungal diseases.
- The key to a healthy garden is the right soil moisture. Not too dry, but not too wet for long periods. You should definitely avoid overwatering, as this leads to soil compaction and valuable nutrients are washed out. Timed irrigation must therefore be continuously adjusted to seasonal and weather conditions.
This is how you control your irrigation with MIYO
- MIYO is based on the most important parameter of irrigation: soil moisture. Additionally, you can enter time windows during which irrigation can take place if the soil requires it. In the irrigation settings, you can set the lower and upper moisture limits. To achieve natural fluctuations and save water, make sure to set the moisture limits far enough apart. It usually does not need to be watered every day.
- To save water, it is best to plant plants with similar water needs in one area. The Sensor should be placed in a representative spot in this area. Targeted watering, e.g., drip irrigation, is more economical than watering large areas, e.g., with sprinklers. The irrigation should be designed so that the area is evenly supplied.
- Use mulch: If you apply a layer of mulch around your plants, it helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation. Mulch also helps suppress weed growth, regulate soil temperature, and improve soil structure in the long term.
- MIYO is the best guarantee for optimal water supply for your garden and for avoiding overwatering. Adjustments to the growth phases of the plants or observations of plant health are easily done on your phone.
