Why DRI?<\/h3>\n
\n\t

The difference is clearly visible<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep Root Irrigation vs Surface Irrigation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Above Ground: DRI<\/h3>\n
\n\t

With DRI, the only surface water is a 4-6\u201d wet spot created as the bulb of saturation underground reaches capacity, letting you know the system is working properly. The rest of the water is underground, right at the roots.<\/p>\n

No waste. Deep Roots. Superior Control<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surface Irrigation<\/h3>\n
\n\t

With other surface methods, the water is sprayed or dripped on top of the dirt, relying on gravity to take a portion of it down toward the roots. But much of that water is lost to run-off and evaporation before ever breaking the surface. The amount of water that does make it underground does not go very deep, forcing the development of an unstable, \u201cpancake\u201d root structure.<\/p>\n

Tremendous waste. Shallow roots. Less control.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Below Ground: DRI<\/h3>\n
\n\t

<\/a>Even in the heaviest of soil, the Deep Root Irrigators are able to create a generous reserve of water deep below the surface. By pushing the water through the unit at a flow rate that is slightly faster than the absorption rate of the soil, the water molecules coming out of the DRI are also more likely to stay together longer, resulting in a bulb of saturation that is also available to the plant longer. The bulb can then be made larger or kept very small, at the discretion of the irrigation manager.<\/p>\n

Deep water. Superior control. Greater staying power.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surface Irrigation<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Even in the lightest of soils, micro-sprinklers and drip emitters only saturate the first few inches below the surface. They offer no control over the rate at which the water ascends into the soil and therefore no control over the size or longevity of the wet pattern.<\/p>\n

Shallow wet pattern. Less control. Dissipates more quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wonder what the roots of a mature tree look like after living its life feeding on shallow water?<\/strong><\/span> [su_lightbox type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/deeprootrevolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/surface-roots.jpg\"]Click here<\/strong><\/span>[\/su_lightbox]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Roots : DRI<\/h3>\n
\n\t

<\/a>The job of the roots is to search out, absorb and transport water and minerals from the soil to the rest of the tree. When using DRI to irrigate, that water is deep and cool, encouraging vertical growth of roots and less stress on trees and vines in hot weather.<\/p>\n

Roots also anchor the portion of the tree above ground. The Deep Root Irrigation system encourages deep, healthy tap roots for optimal plant health and stability.<\/p>\n

Robust vertical tap roots. Less stress.<\/b><\/p>\n

Surface Irrigation<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Lateral root growth is the unfortunate consequence of many surface irrigation methods with inefficient water delivery systems. When most of the water remains spread out in the top few inches of the soil, so also, do the roots. Even tap roots, which should grow down deep into the soil, are coaxed into a horizontal orientation, leaving the plant vulnerable to wind and other weather events.<\/p>\n

Horizontal roots. Less stable.<\/b><\/p>\n
