The combination of fertilizing while irrigating, also known as fertigation, provides plants with the essential nutrients that enrich the soil to provide a stronger, healthier root system. The technology itself is not new, and has been tested in the agriculture and horticulture industry for over 60 years. Having the Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System is like having a full time gardener fertilizing your property every time you water, carefully feeding the entire landscape, caring for the soil and all the plant life.

Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System offers a line of natural and organic fertilizer, pest and insect control, and supplements for clients interested in environmentally sound solutions. In addition, Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System saves water since all the plants develop more efficient and effective root structure when fed this way. Whichever you prefer, our system eliminates the complexity and expenses of choosing the right application for your landscaping needs. Depending on how frequent you are using our system, your landscapes can mature 3 to 5 time faster than normal, enhancing the look of your entire property.

Fertigation is proven to be the most effective way to feed your entire landscaping. One of the added benefits of the Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System is the application of mixing biostimulates with the fertilizer. Biostimulates that contain diseases suppressing microbs helping build soil structure and enhance plants ability to absorb nutrients. Biostimulates reduce water consumption by increasing the soil's water holding capacity. More importantly, they lower your overall maintenance costs and you will see a payback of this investment in 1 to 2 years.  Some additional benefits of Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System are:

¨      Consistent application of fertilizer- no peaks and valleys or anemic looking plants

¨      Inexpensive application once all the needed equipment is installed

¨      We use non-hazardous water soluble fertilizer

¨      Water savings 20%-50%

¨      Reduce pesticide and herbicide use

¨      Fertilizer reduction 70%-90%

¨      Uniform distribution to plants, shrubs, trees, and lawn all the time

Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System is easy to install and operate no programming, no pumps, no electrical connections and little maintenance. Just pour the fertilizer concentrate into the unit every 4 to 6 weeks. Our system feeds in small 'micro-doses' with each watering, giving the plants a stronger root system and makes them less susceptible to insects and diseases. Adjust the knob on the Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System to high and watch your property blossom. To simply maintain your landscaping, adjust the knob to low.

Commercial or residential property, small business or homeowners, the Rain Rich^TM Fertigation System is available in multiple sizes according to your needs. It is a simple quick task to add fertilizer to the tanks and the sprinkler system does the rest.

How much does it cost?

The cost is determined by several factors and these include:

1. The size of the property and the square footage of the area to be fertigated. This will determine the size of the tank needed to hold fertilizer and biostimulants.
2. The connection to the sprinkler system. Some systems are more difficult to connect to then others.
3. The location of the fertigation holding tank. The tank varies in size and the fertilizer and biostimulants are in concentrated form.
4. The type of fertilizer choosen and how much is needed for the property. There are several products available for purchase varying in cost. For example, the fertilizer used for lawns is less expensive than the fertilizer used for new landscapes.
5. The amount of Biostimulants needed for your property.

How is the fertigation system winterized?

Winterizing a fertigation system is a simple and quick process. The first step is to disconnect the input and output tubes from the tank cap. Next, we couple these two tubes together and create a bypass loop eliminating the tank from the irrigation system. We then proceed to winterize the sprinkler system as we normally do. We empty your tank out and any solution remaining we apply, by hand to your trees and shrubs. The next spring we connect everything 1-2-3.
