ecotube Home and Garden
ecotube for Garden Maintenance and Sustainable Living
A beautifully kept and well-maintained home garden is one thing that will never go out of fashion. With ecotube, you are able to show off your stunning green garden while at the same time implementing a system that is both sustainable and not harmful to the environment.
Turn your garden green and your neighbours green with envy.
Manufactured in Germany mainly from recycled tyres, this underground irrigation system ensures a consistent release of water, which creates a homogenous, humid zone, providing plants with the perfect amount of water. Because of the permeability, oxygen and nutrients can be distributed through the ecotube as well.
Due to a rising popularity of beautifully kept home gardens, the design of ecotube, with it being below ground, means that it is not an eye-sore when compared to conventional irrigation systems. ecotube is the ideal solution for maintaining the most aesthetically-pleasing home garden.
The system saves up to 58% of water and can save up to 70% of water consumption, while at the same time has an average yield increase of up to 27%.
Due to strict quality controls and subsurface installation, ecotube is very durable and protected from external influences like evaporation, UV damage, lawn mowers, animals/pests etc. With above ground irrigation systems, there is always the ongoing maintenance and replacement of fittings and pipes. ecotube not only saves you in the long run on maintenance costs, but most importantly, will save you on your water and electricity bill.
We understand that water is a scarcity that we need to protect, with ecotube, you not only save water but also contribute highly in the recycling of tyres that are burned yearly. Let’s support the environment by using more eco-friendly products that are of high quality and beneficial to not only you as the end user, but mother earth too!

Beneifits
Yield Increase
Water Savings
The water savings from ecotube can be as high as 70%
That’s because of the even and continuous supply of water is provided by the permeable line irrigation – giving your plants exactly the right amount of continuous moisture they need for optimal growth.
Fertilizer Savings
You can save up to 30% of your fertilizer costs because ecotube’s efficiency enables perfectly even distribution of fertilizer directly at the roots of the plant.
No Sodification
Because ecotube is installed underground, salinization (sodification) of the soil is avoided – with many conventional irrigation systems, there is an accumulation of water-soluble salts in the soil, specifically in regions that are arid, causing salinization.
Longevity
High tensile strength, coupled with permeability across the entire length of ecotube ensures longevity. In addition, because of the underground installation, ecotubeis protected from environmental influences or destruction, such as UV, rodents, agricultural vehicles and the like.
Water Regulation
Using a very low water pressure of approximately 0.6bar for a tube length of over 100m, ecotube guarantees an even water discharge.
This gives plants the freedom to regulate the quantity of water they need.
Soil Improvement
Because of the efficiency of ecotube, plants develop stronger and deeper roots and this, combined with soil additives, ensures a measurably improved soil structure.
Sustainability
It’s not just the high water savings and low fertilizer consumption that makes ecotube planet friendly – the majority of the tube is made of a recycled tyre granulate mixed with polyethylene. The tube itself is 100% recyclable and is exceptionally long-wearing.
Environmentally Friendly
The use of less fertilizer dramatically reduces the burden on flora and fauna, and the ecotube ensures that roots are supplied with water-soluble liquid fertilizer efficiently and economically – saving 30% of fertilizer use when compared to conventional irrigation systems. Furthermore, the product is made of recycled Tyres, which plays a significant role to the environment, as reduces burning of tyres.
Design
ecotube does all the hard work underground, ensuring the aesthetic integrity of the above-ground plants and surroundings.
Projects
ecotube has made a fundamental difference to numerous projects around the world. Here are just some examples of successful ecotube projects
Horticulture
To yield the greatest possible yield in small areas, ecotube is a definite choice – for greenhouses, tunnels and even a home garden, the benefits of ecotube’s efficiency and cost savings are incredible.
Applications:
Tomatoes, strawberries, eggplants, flowers etc.
