Parks and gardens play a major role in creating those special green spaces within our cities and are the focal point of hundreds of towns and villages throughout rural Australia . Creating colourful and vibrant gardens and maintaining them in good condition is a challenge that is not getting any easier as a result of the ongoing drought in many areas of Australia.

Traditional watering systems are quite wasteful in terms of the water loss and the resources needed to maintain and operate them. Manual surface watering is labour intensive and water often runs off or is lost to evaporation. Drip feed systems generally need to be hard wired to mains water and electricity and are often exposed and subject to vandalism.   And of course sprinkler systems are incredibly wasteful of water using massive amounts with much of it not getting to where it is really needed.

Mainstay Business Services working in conjunction with Green-tech in the UK have just released a range of MPS watering systems in Australia which overcome many of the problems associated with traditional watering systems. The Mona Plant System (MPS) is an innovative subterranean irrigation system. It is a cost effective and environmentally friendly solution for both interior and exterior landscaping. The MPS system ensures the water and nutrients are delivered in the right quantity to the root of the plants. This results in improved root development and optimal plant growth.

MPS water systems have been used for over 20 years around thw world. They are used in Helsinki Airport, Disneyland in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur Airport, Tivoli Gardens, Ville de Massy in Franceand with innumerable local authorities and retail parks. the systems are now available in Australia and will be on display at this years Melbourne Landscape Expo.

MPS systems are distributed exclusively in Australia by Mainstay Business Services who can be contacted on (03) 9740 5598 or by email at info@mainstaybusiness.com.au Brochures can be downloaded from www.mainstaybusiness.com.au
