Pop Bottle Drip Irrigation
2009-06-24 01:39:00 Late last year someone had the bright idea to "fix" the old plumbing in the house. This "fix" lead to there being no outside water access, that means no garden hose, and since water is kind of essential to gardening outside this has made this year interesting. In a way I've been preparing the garden for something like this; as a rule I don't coddle weak plants that can't survive the hot dry conditions of my small garden. If a plant can't survive in my clay soil on spring and summer rains and the occasional supplemental watering--then it wasn't meant to grow for me. I've been fortunate that we've had a lot of rain and it hasn't made watering an...

Why Drip irrigation Is The Best Way Of Watering Your Garden Plants
2008-06-08 12:13:00 While automatic sprinkler systems are the most effective way of watering a lawn, drip irrigation, some drawbacks notwithstanding, is the preferred method for the rest of the garden plants. The essential difference between the two is that sprinklers throw water indiscriminately over the area they cover, as opposed to drippers that emit water in designated spots. Judging by the fact that sprinklers are still widely used for watering flowerbeds, trees and shrubs, it seems that the advantages of drip irrigation are not sufficiently clear to many gardeners. Before dealing with these, let’s outline first the disadvantages involved with drippers. *Installing a drip irrigation system is more expensive than a sprinkler system in terms of materials and labor. Furthermore, the life span of the dripper lines is limited to about 10 - 15 years - sometimes a lot less if periodic flushing is not carried out. While it’s necessary to replace the actual sprinkler heads now and again, the undergrou...

Garden Irrigation - How Often Do You Need To Water?
2008-05-19 04:49:00 Regular watering is an integral part of successful gardening in any region that has long, hot dry summers, such as in Southern California, the Middle East, or South West Australia. Regular watering should not entail opening the taps every day or so, or whenever the plants look tired and dry. There is neither the water available for that, nor is it usually best for the garden plants. An appropriate irrigation regime involves understanding the importance of maintaining a proper balance in the soil between air on the one hand, and moisture on the other. With insufficient water, the plant withers and dies, while with insufficient air available in the soil, the roots cannot breathe. In principle, “how often should I water?” is a question of correctly applying that understanding. Assuming that the soil has adequate drainage, the next most significant factor is the frequency by which water is applied. Light, sandy soils drain excellently, but retain water poorly. It follows that the i...

Irrigation Systems For Your Garden
2008-02-04 06:32:00 Everyone loves to have a garden in the lawn. The color of the flora and fauna, the chirping of the birds etc are invaluable. But one of the most important factors to consider while opting for a garden is water and water is an extremely precious commodity nowadays. Depending on the area that you live in, you might need to employ one or more irrigation methods in your garden to conserve water. Here is a look at some of the best ones out there.Drip irrigation has made a rapid progression from agriculture to commercial landscape gardens. Initially, drip irrigation systems were created in countries which had an extremely dry climate and limited water supply. The system works by supplying water directly to the roots of the plants with the help of sprinklers or emitters. These are interconnected by a network of pipes that are suspended over the ground surface. The result is that there is minimum wastage of water due to evaporation. Drip systems are also easy to install and any handy man ca...

How to compute the operating hours in irrigation operation for water applic
2007-12-14 07:48:00 Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the soil to provide enough moisture for plant growth. The water requirement of banana plant is 2 inches or 50.8 mm per week or .28 inches per day or 7.2 mm per day but it will depend on the type of soil and climate of the area. The roots penetration of banana plants is approximately 1.5 meters below the ground. The available water beyond this line is not useful to supplement the plant water requirements and this time irrigation is only way to provide the needs of the plants unless there is sufficient or heavy rainfall.There are parameters and guidelines in applying irrigation to the plant.First, we have to compute the precipitation rate (PR). How to compute?Formula:PR = Q/AWhere:Q = is the capacity of sprinkler head / nozzle in gpm (gallon per minute)Refer to manual of sprinklers discharge or you can actual test it discharge per second or minute in 10 to 20 trails and get the average to gather the actual discharge।Example:Sprink...

Rain Sensors for Automatic Irrigation Systems
2007-12-06 23:25:00 Automatic sprinkler system controllers are programmed to go on and off on a certain day and at a certain time. The controller does not know if it is sunny and dry outside or raining.For this reason every lawn sprinkler system should have a rain sensor. The rain sensor determines whether or not enough rainfall has occurred in order to skip an irrigation cycle.There are three basic types of rain sensors. They all serve the same purpose: keeping your system from over-watering the turf or your garden. How does it do that?The electrical connection between the sensor and your sprinkler system controller is interrupted when a certain amount of rain triggers the device. The sensor breaks the electrical connection so that electricity cannot flow to either the sprinkler valves or to a pump start (if your system is on a well without a pressure tank).One type breaks the connection by weighing the water in a rainfall collection cup. The problem with this type is that leaves, sticks, or the occas...
