Do you want to manage your garden in a simple way?
Drip irrigation is an easy, effective way of giving your plants water when and where they need it---at their root zone. Drip watering prevents wasted water in areas that don't need it, and by denying water, you can prevent habitats for weeds to flourish. When you use this method, the water from soaker hoses or emitters slowly drips around the base of plants and provides the optimum amount of water, with little or no wasteful runoff. All you have to do is turn on the hose that connects your drip system to a faucet and let it run for an hour or so when needed.
Of course the best way is to set up an irrigation system with a water timer which could help you to control the whole system properly even when you’re away from the garden.
Here are some tips when designing an irrigation system:
1. Determine where your drip system needs to be.
2. Measure and cut your black hose to fit the area.
3. Place the black hose in the center of the bed where it will exist.
4. Using your hole punch, make holes for emitters where each plant you want to water will be.
5. Insert emitters into the holes you have punched in the black hose.
6. Place an end cap at the end of the black plastic hose.
7. Connect the system to a water timer connected on the water source.
8. Turn on the faucet and start the irrigation system.
