Supplying gardens water when and where they need it most makes plants and the planet happy. That’s been the business of Israeli drip irrigation company Netafim for the past 40 years. Drip irrigation was once a simple concept of connecting pipes and supplying water straight to the roots in order to avoid loss of water from evaporation. (It’s drats though for us TreeHugger kids who love to jump through sprinklers!). Thanks to companies such as Netafim, the business of drip irrigation has gone high tech and branched out across the world.
