Honig Winery applies pressure bombs for better vineyard irrigation

SmartPlanet visits Honig Vineyard & Winery in Napa Valley and sees their 'green' practices up close, which include a solar array that produces energy for 100 percent of the winery's operations and a pressure bomb--a device they use to improve irrigation practices.










Groasis, the company that makes the Waterboxx, calls it an "intelligent water incubator." Simply put, the device captures rainwater in a round plastic container and then feeds plants steadily. SmartPlanet correspondent Sumi Das talks to Daniel Bosch, head of viticulture at the Robert Mondavi Winery, about how the winemaker is using the Waterboxx to reduce traditional irrigation practices at its vineyards.
