In previous articles we have seen what the perfect lawn is and how to get it<\/a><\/span>, how to understand the composition of a soil<\/span><\/a> and how to cut the grass of a lawn<\/span><\/a>, now we are going to find out how, when and how much we need to water our garden.<\/p>\n Let’s start with a premise:<\/strong><\/p>\n To irrigate a garden, a plant is needed and strongly recommended.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In fact, hand-wetting provides for the almost daily availability of someone who uses a cane and wets a lot (too much) without distinction of the lawn and plants. In this article we will discover that the system, in addition to wetting each essence as needed, also saves a lot of water.<\/p>\n We come to inform you on how to irrigate a garden in a period of drought such as has not been seen for years. It is easy to say that given the situation it does not irrigate, but why should our plants and our lawn so difficult to obtain and care for with so much love, time and effort must be left to die or suffer from lack of water?<\/p>\n As with all things, there is a correct behavior that avoids exaggerating in one way or another. <\/strong>But let’s start from the optimum because we are not yet in a desert climate with a chronic lack of water.<\/p>\n The irrigation system project must be done by a professional both in terms of design and construction. In fact, you need to have some basic skills. It is\u00a0designed based on what will go in the garden: furniture, plants, lawn, etc.<\/p>\n If you want to insert a swimming pool – even above ground – or a gazebo on a paved area, you must ensure that the system does not wet these parts as well.<\/p>\n Lawns and tall trees usually need underground irrigation with sprinklers. Flowering shrubs, on the other hand, should be wet with drip irrigation that does not wet the flowers. In fact, most of the flowers are damaged if they are wet.<\/p>\n Below we will give some indications with which you will not be able to draw a project, but you can follow the project and the construction done by a gardener or a landscape architect knowing what they are talking about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first important thing to know is how much pressure there is in the tap to which the system will be connected. <\/strong><\/p>\n A good value is between 1.5 and 2.5 bars.<\/p>\n If this is not enough, but it usually is, the system will have to be divided into zones.<\/p>\n What does it mean to divide the irrigation system into zones?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dividing the system into zones means that you divide the garden into several systems and let the water go to one system at a time. If, on the other hand, the water is to be taken from a well, a motorized pump must be provided.<\/p>\n The second important thing to know is that it is always better for the irrigation pipes to be in a loop.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is a ring irrigation system?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It means that the point where the implant starts is also the point where it ends. The third important thing is the distinction between a static sprinkler and a dynamic sprinkler.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is the difference between a static sprinkler and a dynamic sprinkler?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n They are both pop-up sprinklers, that is sprinklers composed of a fixed underground element and one inside which, with the pressure of the water, rises out of the ground level to irrigate.<\/p>\n The static sprinkler is so called because it creates a fixed ray of water. The dynamic sprinkler has a spray that rotates by a certain number of degrees – previously decided – around the center. The static usually covers radii of up to 5 meters. while the dynamic reaches up to 9 meters.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Masonry (100%)” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” admin_label=”Riga” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=”5404,5406,5410,5408,5414,5412″ columns=”2″ gutter=”20″ images_size=”dmg_image_extra_large” modal_title=”on” hover_overlay_effect=”overlay_image_data” hover_overlay_color=”#0d321a” overlay_title_size=”14px” show_overlay_caption=”off” overlay_content_animation=”dmg-visible-bottom” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_align=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Testo (100%)” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What other types of irrigation systems are there?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n However, dynamic and static sprinklers are not the only types of sprinklers in existence. There is also a dripline.<\/p>\n Let’s now define what a drip or dripline system is, another way to define it is a brown composite tube in which there are holes. The water comes out of the holes in the form of drops.<\/p>\n This tube rests on the ground around the areas that you want to irrigate, such as shrubs so that the flowers and leaves do not risk fungal diseases. It is not visible because it is covered by vegetation. A system where there are trees and shrubs must necessarily have a mixed system where in some points there are static sprinklers, in others the dynamic ones and in others the dripline.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In winter, the irrigation system must be turned off, when the frosts begin and the cutting of the grass ends (here you will find how often to cut the grass, season by season<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n But when it rains should the irrigation system be turned off? What if I’m not home?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Do not worry. There is an object called a “rain sensor” that must be inserted into the system and positioned where it usually rains, it will take care of blocking the irrigation system in case of rain. It allows you to save electricity, water and unwanted water stagnation situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In early spring, when the frosts end, you have to turn it back on especially to check the status of the sprinklers. In fact, when cutting the grass, it can happen that a sprinkler breaks occasionally.<\/p>\n So having a test ride at the beginning of the season shows you if everything is working well or if some parts need to be changed.<\/p>\n I therefore recommend that you ask the professional, when going to buy sprinklers, to take 10 more of each type and a few more meters of dripline to leave for maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Changing a sprinkler is something you can do yourself.<\/strong> For the dripline, on the other hand, it could be more complicated but nothing ever happens to it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In spring and autumn, water should be watered every 2 to 3 days. In summer almost every day, but a few minutes at a time can be enough: only 2 or 3.<\/p>\n If you have plants that require more water, such as hydrangeas, you will have to, knowing the characteristics of the plants inserted, maybe make the dripline do a double loop instead of one.<\/p>\n But at what time does the irrigation system start?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In spring and summer it is best in the evening. In fact, the plants will have plenty of time to drink calmly. In fact, during the day with the sun the water evaporates faster, perhaps forcing you to increase irrigation times or keeping the plants in water distress.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But how much does the irrigation system cost for an ornamental garden?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The cost is about 12 euros per square meter plus the design and labor which should remain contained around 300\/500 euros excluding gardens that are too small or too large which will have different prices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now on horseback!

In questo articolo scopriremo che l\u2019impianto, oltre a bagnare ogni essenza come serve, permette di risparmiare anche molta acqua.<\/p>\r\n Giungiamo a informare su come si irriga un giardino in un periodo di siccit\u00e0 come non si vedeva da anni. Facile dire che vista la situazione non si irriga, ma perch\u00e9 le nostre piante ed il nostro prato cos\u00ec difficilmente ottenuti e curati con tanto amore, tempo e fatica devono essere lasciati morire o soffrire per la mancanza d\u2019acqua?<\/p>\r\n Come per tutte le cose c\u2019\u00e8 un giusto comportamento che evita di esagerare in un senso o nell\u2019altro. <\/strong>Ma partiamo dall\u2019optimum perch\u00e9 non siamo ancora in un clima desertico con una cronica mancanza d\u2019acqua.<\/p>\r\n Il progetto di impianto di irrigazione va fatto fare da un professionista sia sotto l\u2019aspetto progettuale sia sotto quello costruttivo. Bisogna infatti avere alcune competenze di base.<\/p>\r\n L\u2019impianto di irrigazione si progetta in base a cosa andr\u00e0 nel giardino: arredo, piante, prato, ecc.<\/p>\r\n Se si desidera inserire una piscina - anche fuori terra - o un gazebo su una zona pavimentata si dovr\u00e0 fare in modo che l\u2019impianto non bagni anche queste parti.<\/p>\r\n Il prato e le piante ad alto fusto necessitano solitamente di un\u2019irrigazione interrata con irrigatori. Gli arbusti da fiore invece dovrebbero essere bagnati tramite l\u2019irrigazione a goccia che non bagna i fiori. La maggior parte dei fiori infatti si rovinano se vengono bagnati.<\/p>\r\n Di seguito daremo alcune indicazioni con le quali non potrete disegnare un progetto, ma potrete seguire il progetto e la costruzione fatta da un giardiniere o un paesaggista sapendo di cosa stanno parlando.<\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n La prima cosa importante da sapere \u00e8 quanta pressione c\u2019\u00e8 nel rubinetto a cui ci si collegher\u00e0 per l\u2019impianto. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n Un buon valore \u00e8 tra i 1.5 e i 2.5 bar.<\/p>\r\n In caso non sia sufficiente, ma di solito lo \u00e8, si dovr\u00e0 dividere l\u2019impianto in zone.<\/p>\r\n Cosa significa dividere l'impianto di irrigazione in zone?<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Dividere l\u2019impianto in zone significa che si divide il giardino in pi\u00f9 impianti e si fa andare l\u2019acqua in un impianto alla volta. Se invece l\u2019acqua va presa da un pozzo si deve prevedere una pompa motorizzata.<\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n La seconda cosa importante da sapere \u00e8 che \u00e8 sempre meglio che il percorso dei tubi di irrigazione sia ad anello.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Cos'\u00e8 un impianto di irrigazione ad anello?<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Vuol dire che il punto in cui inizia l\u2019impianto \u00e8 anche il punto in cui finisce. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n La terza cosa importante \u00e8 la distinzione tra irrigatore statico e irrigatore dinamico.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Qual \u00e8 la differenza tra irrigatore statico e irrigatore dinamico?<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Sono entrambi irrigatori pop up e cio\u00e8 irrigatori composti da un elemento fisso interrato ed uno dentro che, con la pressione dell\u2019acqua, si eleva fuori dal livello del terreno per irrigare.<\/p>\r\n L\u2019irrigatore statico si chiama cos\u00ec perch\u00e9 crea una raggera d\u2019acqua fissa. L\u2019irrigatore dinamico ha uno spruzzo che ruota di un certo numero di gradi - decisi in precedenza - intorno al centro. Lo statico solitamente copre raggi di massimo 5 mt. mentre il dinamico arriva fino ai 9 mt.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Masonry (100%)\" _builder_version=\"4.27.0\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px||false|false\" locked=\"off\" collapsed=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_row make_equal=\"on\" admin_label=\"Riga\" _builder_version=\"4.27.0\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" width=\"100%\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=\"5403,5405,5409,5407,5413,5411\" columns=\"2\" gutter=\"20\" images_size=\"dmg_image_extra_large\" modal_title=\"on\" hover_overlay_effect=\"overlay_image_data\" hover_overlay_color=\"#0d321a\" overlay_title_size=\"14px\" show_overlay_caption=\"off\" overlay_content_animation=\"dmg-visible-bottom\" _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" title_text_align=\"left\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Testo (100%)\" _builder_version=\"4.27.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" width=\"100%\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"] Quali altri tipi di impianti di irrigazione esistono?<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Gli irrigatori dinamici e statici non sono per\u00f2 gli unici tipi di irrigatori esistenti. Esiste anche l\u2019ala gocciolante.<\/p>\r\n Definiamo ora cos\u2019\u00e8 l\u2019impianto a goccia o Ala gocciolante, altro modo per definirlo, \u00e8 un tubo marrone composito nel quale vi sono dei buchi. Dai buchi esce l\u2019acqua in forma di gocce.<\/p>\r\n Questo tubo si poggia sul terreno intorno alle zone che si vogliono irrigare, ad esempio gli arbusti cos\u00ec che i fiori e le foglie non rischino malattie fungine. Non \u00e8 a vista perch\u00e9 coperto dalla vegetazione. Un impianto dove ci siano alberi, e arbusti dovr\u00e0 necessariamente dotarsi di un impianto misto dove in alcuni punti vi siano irrigatori statici, in altri i dinamici ed in altri ancora l\u2019ala gocciolante.<\/p>\r\n \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\n

If the system has multiple zones, there will be more rings managed by solenoid valves which, like a traffic policeman, manage the flow of water from one ring to the other by closing the previous one and opening the next.<\/p>\n\n

You can also use the dripline for the lawn by burying it (otherwise you can see it unlike the pipes under the bushes), but you risk having striped irrigation.<\/p>\nGarden irrigation: when the irrigation system is turned off<\/h2>\n

Se l\u2019impianto ha pi\u00f9 zone ci saranno pi\u00f9 anelli gestiti da delle elettrovalvole che, come un vigile urbano, gestiscono il flusso d\u2019acqua da un anello all\u2019altro chiudendo il precedente ed aprendo il successivo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Si pu\u00f2 usare l\u2019ala gocciolante anche per il prato interrandola (altrimenti si vede a differenza dei tubi sotto i cespugli), ma si rischia di avere un\u2019irrigazione a strisce.<\/p>\r\nIrrigazione del giardino: quando va spento l'impianto di irrigazione<\/h2>\r\n
