Drip Irrigation Advantage?

Someone asked me if there was an advantage (I could think of) that a Drip Irrigation system had over a flood bed?


This affects me since Im at the half way point of deciding which way to go with this bed. Oddly, I have all the parts for either (see pics). This is for a clone and veg area.


The only answer I could think of (which made sense to me; but ultimately im taking out of my bum--cuz I don't know forsure)

Was less res changes...after all you are using less nutes. Which might mean you could even op for a smaller rez if you were doing bi-weekly res changes.

I quickly changed the topic to avoid intrusive questions.

anyways...

Still i was wondering?

Was this true? Seemed to make sense (at the time)?

If not then there must be some advantages to a drip irrigation system...I mean isn't that what commercial produce growers use still? Or no?

Drip would maybe be a better choice for growing large plants
