TANKER IRRIGATION LIVINGREEN DESIGN LTD LIVINGREEN HOUSE, 24/6 DRYDEN ROAD, LOANHEAD, EDINBURGH, EH20 9HX, UNITED KINGDOM. www.livingreendesign.com enquire@livingreendesign.com TEL: +44 131 440 9804 TANKER IRRIGATION Tanker Irrigation is a scientifically proven sub soil irrigation system specially designed for use in planters and enclosed planting beds. It was invented more than 30 years ago by Livingreen Design Technical Director, Dorian Hope, and has remained in production ever since and with various updates, keeping it at the forefront of irrigation technology. The system essentially comprises an underground water tank that is located approx. 10cm from the plant rootball when installed. The tank is fed via a tube from soil level through which water is introduced via a hose or watering can. The clever bit is the Tanker proprietary wick, a geotextile membrane designed specifically for the system and which is used to slow release water from the tank into the compost only replacing water lost to the roots. This means the soil is always kept at ‘field capacity’ and does not subject the plant to the cycle of over watering and drought that is usually the lot of plants confined to pot culture. The result is happier, healthier plants that show a more compact growth pattern, have a longer life and better root and shoot development. Used outdoors, flowering plants will flower for longer and will produce more flowers. Typical Modular Network layou
