How to Install a Drip Irrigation System: Planning
A drip system is not only an efficient means of watering but installation could not be simpler.

By +Don Vandervort, HomeTips

As compared to installing an automatic sprinkler system, installing a drip system is a snap. There is no need to dig trenches, connections are as simple as plugging in an electrical cord, and measurements don’t need to be precise.

All that is required is figuring out what types of tubing and emitters you will need, their capacities, and how many you will need.

Installing a drip system to supplement an underground sprinkler system can be done in a day. If the drip system will be your sole means of watering, with careful planning, installation can be done in a weekend.
