When setting up a watering grid, it is important to properly maintain and occasionally flush it in order to prevent hard water deposits. Indeed, these deposits can affect the water flow and drip. These types of irrigation systems have been shown to be particularly efficient with carrots, chards and beans.

Irrigation techniques such as soaker hoses and drip lines can be quite time-consuming, especially when used on larger-scale crops. Consequently, a grid watering system requires virtually no supervision and can be set up within minutes. More importantly, this irrigation system is extremely gentle on plants and does not require any additional tools.

Some grids can feature over thirty sections, ideal for larger gardens. It is advisable to invest in an internal mesh filter to ensure that the watering grid remains free of debris.
