Fertigation is the process of applying fertilizer through an irrigation system. The process is integrated with a new or an existing irrigation system. If you believe that your landscape doesn’t need fertilizer this frequently then consider this question. Do we sit down at the beginning of the month to eat one single meal that is supposed to sustain us for that month? No, we don’t—we eat every day. Plants are living things, too! Why should your landscape be any different? Fertigation is not a new process; it has been in use by the agricultural industry for well over 50 years. The agricultural industry recognized long ago the benefits of fertigation, and with the EZ-FLO system it is now available to commercial and residential applications

In the last decade, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published guidelines setting forth the requirements for clean drinking water and the need to reduce non-point source pollution (NPSP) to keep our waters clean. One of the greatest contributors to the pollution of our water systems is the run-off of granulated fertilizers, with fertigation, this risk is eliminated. The EPA is currently looking at ways to reduce the pollutants to the Chesapeake Bay; one of the largest pollutants to the Chesapeake Bay is the use of granulated fertilizers on our lawns and landscapes. Traditional methods of applying granular fertilizers and other chemicals (herbicides, pesticides etc.) leave much to be desired as compared to newer application techniques using fertigation. This method of application results in uneven nutrient delivery due to uneven dissolving of the fertilizer granules. This method of drop or broadcast fertilizing also increases the danger of burning plant leaves and root systems due to the uneven and uncontrolled release of fertilizer. Traditional methods of fertilizer applications are normally carried out every 4 to 6 weeks, this results in a “feast or famine” situation, wherein the landscape material is typically getting fed once during this time period. Using fertigation the landscape is being fed each time that you water. Fertigation is an environmentally safe and effective way to maintain your landscape. It is a proven technology designed to reduce waste of fertilizer as well as an effective method to deliver soil amendments, pest control as well as deliver micro dosage amounts of liquid fertilizer to your lawn and landscape. The patented EZ-FLO Fertigation system has successfully adapted the key delivery aspects required for fertigation to the homeowner, commercial and municipal landscapes. They have incorporated fertigation's proven benefits into an easy to use, reliable and maintenance-free system for residential and commercial properties as well as for nurseries and growers.
