Adjustable Button Drippers for Coffee irrigation Farming

Button Drip irrigation is an irrigation method where plants are watered via pipes that emits water to the roots of the plants via droplets released from emitter holes drilled into the pipes.
The Water is pumped to the garden through pipes installed and fitted with valves that control the flow of Water. Water flow is normally slow to ensure enough water goes to the soil.
The irrigation system focuses on supplying Water to the main parts of the coffee plant roots by allowing water droplets through the 4 mm holes to the base of the plant.
