The main supply pipe should ideally be laid within 20cm of the location of micro sprays if you have opted for the preassembled sprays on a stake with a short length of micro pipe. The longest length of micro supply pipe we want to use is 30cm. Water Timers, filters, and pressure reducers are expensive items and are sensitive to freezing conditions, so take care of them. Remove them from the system and empty them of any water. The best way to empty these items is to hold them upside down and give them a good shake—store them in a dry place, preferably indoors (not in a shed). selling composts and fertilizers, Horticultural sundries and tools.Keen gardeners are also welcome. Irrigation Hole Punch - Used to pierce holes in the main supply pipe to connect the microtube of the micro sprays to the 13mm irrigation supply pipe.

Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipe, stakes and wall clips are used to secure the tube in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls and fences. Water Timer - The ideal timer for this project would be the Claber Dual Select, as it allows the irrigation system to be split into two zones with just one computer to control both lines. TOP TIP: If you have difficulty inserting the fittings into the main supply pipe, dip the end of the supply pipe into hot (not boiling) water. The experienced staff members suggest carrying a thermos of hot water to warm the tube in. With a scale map of your garden, draw a path from your water source past all the micro sprays you have planned. This path can branch off in different directions (using tee connectors) and do 90° turns around obstacles (using elbows). The idea of a watering system is to be hidden, so consider the best route for the pipework to follow to ensure it is out of sight. This could be underground (up to 5cm), under mulch, hidden behind bushes, or neatly pinned to a wall or fence.

A micro spray irrigation system consists of a simple network of pipes with low-volume micro-sprays attached. These micro-sprays have been designed to irrigate or water small to medium size planting areas. The low-volume sprays installed for landscape and horticultural applications deliver a fine water spray covering one to three metres. Sprays used for agricultural applications, such as watering under vines and orchards, have a larger spray radius. A micro-spray irrigation system can provide efficient and precise water delivery to targeted areas in your landscape, nursery or orchard.

Dosatron are probably the UK's best selling water powered injectors. These injector are used in Horticulture and other industries. The recently release Dosatron D3GL Greenline Fertiliser is currently on special introductory offer. Cut the main supply pipe using your cutting tool of choice and create the network using the required fittings (elbows, tee pieces, stop ends etc.) as per your plan. Ensure your cuts are clean and perpendicular to the pipe to ensure the best connection to your fittings.Main Supply Pipes – A frequently asked question is, “Do I need to take the system in for the winter?”. The simple answer is no. You should, however, do your best to drain the system of excess water to prevent damage from freezing water. Remove all the stop ends in your system and any other connectors at low points that can help drain the excess water system. Connect the micro supply pipe to the main supply pipe by punching a hole in the main line with an irrigation hole punch and then inserting a tube adaptor into that hole. The tube adaptor creates an outlet for the micro supply pipe to connect to. Connect the other end of the micro supply pipe to the inlet of the micro spray stake. For corners of garden beds, use the 90° (quarter-circle) Microjet Sprays to ensure we don't overspray onto walls, fences or paths. 90° Microjet Sprays are used in conjunction with 180° Microjet Sprays. Metres of 13mm Irrigation Supply Pipe - This is the primary carrier of water and runs past all containers we wish to provide water for.

elbows, tee connectors, stop ends, etc. - Based on the plan's requirements, choose 13mm connectors to guide the pipe around the garden and terminate pipe runs. Lay the main supply pipe around the area to be watered. The tube will be more manageable if warmed in the sunshine before use. Initially, position it with weights until it relaxes. TOP TIP: If you pierce a hole in the wrong place, use a micro blanking plug (aka Goof Plug) to close and seal the hole. Vari-Flow Spike Jets - These are pre-assembled to save on installation time. They feature a microjet spray head on top of a stake, a flow control valve to control spray radius, a short length of micro pipe already fitted and a tube adaptor. We choose six of the 180° versions and two of the 90° versions for our installation.Tricoflex hose has been used extensively in Horticulture, Sports and Amenity industries for many years.
