  1 0 Installing a drip irrigation system for your vegetable garden and mini home orchard is an excellent idea. I recommend reading the following information about installing and designing drip irrigation systems from WSU and Colorado State University. You will get tested and unbiased information from these sources--in other words, they aren't selling a system, but giving great information! From WSU: Drip Irrigation for the Yard and Garden, http://irrigation.wsu.edu/Content/Fact-Sheets/DripIrrForYardGarden.pdf From Colorado State University Extension, Drip Irrigation for Home Gardens http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/garden/04702.html From WSU Extension Small Farms Team, http://smallfarms.wsu.edu/crops/irrigation/ I hope this info is helpful. -Andrea Master Gardener Andrea answered in Other Gardening about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Hello, I've set up several drip irrigation systems, as well as teaching a drip irrigation at City people's Garden Store, where I work. There are way too many choices and I've narrowed it down to the essentials. I'd be happy to show you what I consider the best method. I work at City peeps (in Madison valley) Mon, Fri, and Sat. Ask for Jose, I'd be happy to help you!

  0 0 I have a system I've installed in my backyard that is spring-fed and gravity based. I am no expert, but I can tell you this about drip irrigation: gravity is your friend. If you can find a way to put your water source up high, then all you need is a valve - no pump. I'm fortunate that I have a spring on my property, but you could use rain barrels or a similar scheme. As long as you can elevate the water source, it will naturally drip down through your system when you open the valve. Sorry if this answer seems like pointing out the obvious, but sometimes the obvious is important. Good luck, and happy irrigating! soundslikepuget answered in Other Gardening about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
