We were then joined by Mark Alva from the Aquatrap Dripper System.

Mark explains that the system is highly efficient for 'small holding' farmers, nurseries and urban agricultural projects.

The system:

-ensures fertilizing through the system which is diluted in the tank

-stands on a solid steel tank which is appropiate for any surface
-is eco-friendly and saves water

-easy to use and maintain
