It’s no secret that Earth is facing a water shortage. More than 2 billion peopleworldwide have no access to clean waterat all. Aside from the appeal of savingmoney, our industry faces a moral obligation to avoid wasting water whenever possible.
The most beautiful plant installationsare made even more attractive by what isunderneath the soil. Primescape’s line ofsub-irrigation products don’t just promotethe health of your plants - they protect the life of our planet.
Take a look at the next four pages, and give some thought to joining the sub-irrigation movement. You’ll be glad you did.
The growing concern

SUB-IRRIGATIONSELF-WATERING EQUIPMENTpages 34-37
Sub irrigation is the act of watering your plants from below the roots via a refillable reservoir.
Top-watering often causes water waste due to evaporation. It could also lead to over watering, which is harmful to the very plants you’re trying to nurture.
Sub-irrigation lets your plants take what they need, when they need it. Every drop of water is used, every time.
Sub-irrigation is surprisingly inexpensive,especially when you consider the money you’ll save in the long-run. Our systems require less-frequent watering and fewerservice calls, which can often lead to fuel savings over time. They also promote longer plant life, DRAMATICALLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PLANT REPLACEMENTS!

CWM© Modular Irrigation System (custom-fit container links)
HOW PLANTER TECHNOLOGY WORKS
WATER
The plant’s root system absorbswater up through the bottom of the unit. When the sensor tip is wet, it closes off air flow to the inner chamber.
This prevents more water thannecessary from entering the soil.As the soil dries, the sensor opens.This breaks the vacuum, pushingwater into the soil once more.
For odd-shaped or oversized plant beds, Primescape proudly offers many CWM© Modular options. Planter Technology has devised a unique system that combines all the benefits of their other units with the flexibility of modular engineering. Call Primescape today for a consultation. For more sub-irrigation options, see our MONA systems on pages 36 and 37.
