메리트카지노: What No One Is Talking About

[Arlene Esterly]

Drip irrigation is the most effective way to water a flower or vegetable garden. The slow trickle of water is delivered directly to the base of the plant preventing run-off or evaporation caused by most other watering methods. Installing a drip irrigation system may seem like a daunting task, but once started many will find it both fun and easy.

The first place to start a drip irrigation system is at the water source. Place a brass hose Y fitting on the spigot so that the drip system does not have to be removed to access the water for other uses. An automated system makes drip that much easier. To automate the system install a battery timer on one end of the Y fitting. Next install a filter so that the system does not clog up later on down the road. Most municipal water sources have high water pressure, which is why a pressure regulator should be installed after the filter. Next install a fitting that has a female hose thread on one side and connects to 샌즈카지노 1/2" tubing on the other. To complete the faucet assembly insert the tubing into the end of the fitting.

The 1/2" mainline tubing can now be run from the faucet to the garden with stakes holding it in place every 4 feet or so. For more complex areas, various fittings may be needed to navigate the mainline tubing throughout the landscape. A hole should be punched in the tubing near the location of a plant. Now there are many options for the newly punched hole. An emitter can be inserted directly into the tubing if the plant is very close to the hole. If the plant is further away, a 1/4" transfer barb should be inserted into the whole. Now place blank 1/4" tubing on the other end of the transfer barb. The blank tubing is rolled out to the base of the plant and then an emitter is inserted into the end of the tubing. Another option is to use soaker dripline on the other end of the transfer barb. Soaker dripline is 1/4" tubing that has evenly spaced emitters built in the tubing. It is great for raised beds or plants in rows. The soaker dripline is rolled out to the desired length and then closed off with a goof plug. The process of punching holes and inserting emitters or tubing into them should be repeated until all of the plants in the garden are able to get water from the drip irrigation system.

There is a lot to consider when looking for the best drip irrigation kit. You will need to decide on how much supplies you need and what drip irrigation supplies you need. There are a few things to determine before purchasing your new kit.

I am sure you have seen all different choices for drip watering kits, irrigation drip kits, and micro drip kits. Lots of people get confused between the different terms. I have some relieving news for you. They all mean the same thing! This is what you should do before you purchase your kit and supplies.

You need to plan your system to decide how much tubing and drippers your will need. Draw a sketch out of the area you are planning to drip irrigate and establish how many plants you need to water.

Then you need to figure out your soil type. You can do this by taking a handful of dry soil, gripping it tightly, and releasing it. A coarse and sandy soil will fall apart. A loam and medium soil will hold together but break apart easily. Finally, a clay soil will mold and not break apart. Now you can determine what type of soil you need and how many drip emitters you will need per plant.

If you want an automated irrigation system you will need to by a drip irrigation timer and controller. Then you can leave the watering duties to the system and time when you want the task to be done.

Finding the right drip kit is easy. Figure out how much tubing and emitters you need and determine your soil time. You are just an installation away from having your new drip irrigation system.
