Piddler - Tree Irrigation System

piddler prod Drought stress remains one of the biggest contributors to high mortality rates of transplanted trees in their first few years of establishment.

Water is vital for tree growth and sustainability. Lack of regular watering in the early years will without a doubt cause irreparable damage to the tree.

During the summer period a 6cm girth tree will typically require at least 30 litres of water per month and a semimature tree, with a girth of 20cm or more, will need 300 litres of water per month.

The use of a ‘targeted’ irrigation system that delivers water directly to the root zone provides a huge benefit to the development of the tree.

The Piddler irrigation system offers the following improvements over traditional watering systems: piddle how it works hose connector

Highly efficient delivery of water and air directly to the tree roots
Effective supply of water evenly in both directions all the way around the rootball, drenching the soil laterally
Minimal waste - no run off, evaporation or water escaping directly into the bottom of the tree pit
Easy watering with a hose pipe through the debris cap or using the pressurised adapter for increased flow
Quick to assemble, tailor to size and suitable for all rootball diameters
Debris cap and unique membrane construction prevents blockages
Membrane acts as a strategic root barrier, directing roots down into their ideal growing zone
Compact system offers significant freight cost savings over traditional pipe solutions
Piddler can be used in straight runs (i.e. hedges) and is also ideal for roof garden planting
