Water leaks out at an extremely slow rate which can almost completely stop water loss from evaporation if under a good mulch. Because the water goes so slowly, it goes deeper instead of horizontally away from the roots. And because it goes deeper, the roots go deeper giving the plants access to nutrients usually below their reach. It makes the plants stronger, more drought tolerant, and increases yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its porous material the drip tape emits water at an extremely slow pace along its entire surface through billions of micropores. By placing the tubing on the ground alongside the plants, the drip tape slowly emits water into the soil that gradually is absorbed onto the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at an optimal range, plant productivity and quality improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BluSoak 2.0 is able to irrigate all different types of crops with different types of water demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a solution to gardens with high square footage and\/or canopy space that want to utilize Blumat technology.
